  • step 1
    ingredients  
    instructions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • step 2
    ingredients 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    2 medium Onions (thinly sliced) 
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    instructions For the Caramelized Onions: Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet and saute the onions, salt and pepper over low heat for about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent browning. Add oil as necessary and deglaze pan with a tablespoon or so of water if brown bits form on the bottom of the skillet. Set aside and let cool.
  • step 3
    ingredients 1 recipe Michael's Savory Pie Dough 
    instructions For the Simple Pie Dough: Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. On a floured work surface, roll the pie dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 6 inch squares.
  • step 4
    ingredients 1 pound Gruyere Cheese (shredded)
    1 Egg plus 1 tablespoon Water whisked
    instructions In a large mixing bowl combine the caramelized onions and gruyere cheese. Place 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the center of each pie square. Fold over the dough to form a pocket. Seal the edges with egg wash and press together using the tines of a fork.
  • step 5
    ingredients Sea Salt for garnish 
    instructions Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and filling. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
  • step 6
    ingredients 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    2 tablespoons Butter 
    1 pound Mushrooms (cremini or white button; sliced)

Add olive oil and butter to the pan and cook until butter melts and bubbles subside. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat in the butter and oil. Season with salt and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook so the mushroom get crispy, about 2 to 3 more minutes.
