Process description
To bake a pie with meat and mushrooms, you should first do the test. To do this, take the potatoes boiled in their uniforms, peel it and grind it on a medium grater. Salt, ground pepper and pre-sifted flour are sent to the container with the prepared vegetable. The latter needs to be added a little, so as not to go too far with it. All knead well until you get a not too cool, slightly sticky dough.
At the second stage, you can begin to prepare the filling. To do this, in a pan greased with vegetable oil, pre-prepared and chopped onions are fried. When it becomes golden, washed and chopped champignons are added to it. The contents of the pan are stewed over low heat until the liquid evaporates completely.
After that, pre-boiled and chopped chicken, chopped parsley, salt and pepper are sent to the onions and mushrooms. All mix well and stew for several minutes.
In a baking dish, greased with butter, spread the potato dough, cool the toppings evenly distributed on top and pour it with a mixture of cream, raw eggs, salt, ground pepper and basil. All this is sent to the oven, heated to 180 degrees. After about half an hour, a potato pie with meat and mushrooms, the recipe of which is presented above, can be served.

Sequencing
Pre-prepared champignons, chopped chicken fillet and grated cheese are combined in one dish. All mix well until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
The finished puff pastry is divided into two unequal parts. A smaller, about a quarter of the total mass, is used as a kind of cap. Most of them are rolled out with a not too thin layer and laid on the bottom of the mold. Raw onion cut in half rings is placed on top, followed by a mixture of chicken, cheese and mushrooms. Thin slices of tomatoes are laid with the last layer. The edges of the dough are wrapped inwards, covered with a “lid” and gently nibbled, not forgetting to make a hole through which steam will escape.
The future cake is greased with a beaten egg and sent to the preheated oven. The product is baked for an hour at one hundred and eighty degrees.
Pickled Mushroom Option
This cake is good in that the products used for its preparation can be easily replaced with other ingredients. So, instead of cheese, you can take mayonnaise or eggs, whipped with sour cream or cream.

Technological process
The pre-rolled purchased dough is laid out at the bottom of the mold, oiled, not forgetting to fashion the sides. Top with a thin even layer spread canned tomatoes whipped with a blender and mushrooms cut into slices. Then the forcemeat is gently distributed on the surface and pour it with eggs, whipped with sour cream.
After that, the future pie with meat and mushrooms is placed in a preheated oven. After about half an hour, a beautiful golden crust will appear on it, indicating that it is time to remove the product from the oven and serve it. It is better to eat such a cake hot.
