"This is a perfect luncheon dish! You will need a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, I used fresh sliced mushrooms in place of canned that I sauteed firstly when I made this, and I also added in a small chopped red bell pepper but that is optional. If you use more than 1 cup sauteed fresh mushrooms I suggest to use a 10-inch pie plate instead of 9-inch and roll the puff pastry out a little larger."

With mushrooms, spinach and cheese: very much my sort of favourite recipe! I made this pretty much to the recipe, except for using fresh mushrooms and adding a generous handful of baby spinach leaves to the thoroughly squeeze-dried frozen spinach. I also added 4 cloves of minced garlic and a teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves. Very yummy; very re-makeable! 8 serves? 6 people made short work of this at a family dinner by coming back for seconds, even though there were several other dishes. Thank you for another really easy to make winner, Kitten!

Made this for a main dish at Christmas for my DS who is vegetarian. Everyone at dinner thoroughly enjoyed this. I used sauteed fresh mushrooms. Thanks so much.

Fabulous! We loved this recipe. The only changes I made were: small white onion chopped and sauteed instead of green onion (personal preference). I sauteed a clove of minced garlic with the onion. Will make again!!

This was excellent! It's recipes like this that help make the transition to vegetarian easier on my DH. Since we're garlic fans I think I'll use garlic next time, though, like another reviewer did. Thanks for another great recipe!

Excellent. Made for my parents and sister along with my family. Everyone raved. The first time we made this was based on a search for some miscellaneous ingredients I needed to use up. I'm glad we stumbled on this one. I used sauteed fresh mushrooms and would highly recommend the effort to do that vs. canned.
