• Butter - 50 g
• Flour - 200 g
• Water - 3 tbsp.
• Salt - to taste
• For the filling:
• White mushrooms or champignons - 400 g
• Chicken breast - 300 g
• Broccoli - 200 g
• Onions - 100 g
• Milk - 50 g
• Cream - 150 ml
• Semi-hard cheese - 180 g
• Ground nutmeg - 1 tsp.

• Pepper - to taste

Directions

1. Cut the butter into small pieces and leave for an hour at room temperature. Add egg, flour, and salt to the butter. Knead the dough and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling. Put the chicken breast in a saucepan, fill with water, add spices and cook until cooked. When the breast has cooled, cut the meat into small pieces.
3. Mushrooms are thoroughly cleaned, washed in cold water, and chopped. Peel an onion and cut it into thin strips or cubes. Heat a frying pan, and pour vegetable oil. Fry the onion in a pan for a few minutes and add the mushrooms.
4. Fry the mixture of mushrooms and onions until golden for 10 minutes, then place on a pan and pieces of chicken breast and broccoli. Fry the assorted vegetables and meat for another 10 minutes and leave to cool.
5. Pay attention! Broccoli has many places where bacteria can accumulate, so before cooking it must be thoroughly washed: completely fill with cold water, leave for 5 minutes and rinse under the tap.
6. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. Grease the form with oil or cover with parchment paper. Spread the dough, and make the sides. Cover with parchment and cover with any cereal so that the dough begins to bake evenly and does not rise. Put the base of the French pie in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
7. To prepare the filling in a deep bowl, beat eggs, and mix with milk, cream, and spices.
8. Remove the dough from the oven. Spread the filling inside and add the filling. It should completely cover the filling.
9. Bake the cake for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, rub the cheese on a fine grater and generously sprinkle with kish Loren for 5-10 minutes until the end of cooking.
10. Juicy french pie is ready. Bon appetit!
