Mushrooms are up there on my faves list, alongside avocados and cheese. All three can usually be added to anything to instantly improve it.
Aside from cake.
Anyway, this recipe is amazing, I wish I could take credit for it (not that clever!) but I plan on making these ALL the time, the addition of lemon zest is genius I tell you! I used my pie maker and the recipe made four large pies. These delish Mushroom Pies are perfect winter warmers, they’re super-quick to whip up, inexpensive, filling and make an easy addition to your family meal plan.
