Preparation Sieve the flour onto the pastry board and make a well in the centre where you will pour the oil and mix it with the flour. Add the salt and 2 or 3 spoonfuls of water. Knead the dough with your fingers forming a ball and let it rest for half an hour covered with a cloth. Knead it again and roll it out on the floured pastry board.

Line the bottom and the sides of a cake dish with the pastry after having greased it with oil. Prick the bottom with a fork and place it in a hot oven until it is half cooked.

In the meantime, clean and wipe the fresh mushrooms and cut them into slices. Sauté them in a pan with the oil for 5 minutes and then add the garlic and parsley chopped up finely, the grated cheese and the slightly beaten eggs. Add a pinch of nutmeg as well.

Lastly, add a little salt and pepper. Remove the pastry from the oven then place the mushroom mixture in layers ending with a layer of Porcini mushrooms cut into flakes and the grated cheese. Put the oven dish back into the oven again and terminate the cooking. When you want to check that it is ready, insert a toothpick and if it comes out dry, the pie is ready. Serve at table immediately.
