Double Cream Garlic Herb Mushroom Pie satisfies your hearty, cheesy vegan comfort food cravings, perfect for Pi Day or a Friday!
Longtime readers of spabettie know I love my pie. I also love Pi.
I make a Pi tribute pie every year, and those years I have had a blog, I have shared them with you.
This year, Pi Day is extra nerdy special – not only it is the year ’15, this year we can also take Pi out a few more decimals at 9:26 am, and 53 seconds.
I made a savory pie this year, using Miyoko’s Creamery Double Cream Garlic Herb which melted beautifully into the crimini and shiitake mushrooms.
Longtime readers may also remember that sautéing onions and mushrooms in butter is one of my favorite things. Adding vermouth takes it to such a fragrant level of goodness, and instantly transports me to holidays. Mmm.

This Double Cream Garlic Herb Mushroom Pie looks fabulous – and COME ON, HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LOVE THE PI SYMBOL ON IT TOO?! Amazing! And you know what else? Just like Pi, I could eat this pie to infinity and beyond, in a highly irrational way. Amazing stuff. 🙂
