Ingredients

320 g sheet ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
25 g (1oz) butter
3 leeks, trimmed and finely sliced
100 g (3 1/2oz) spinach
150 g (5oz) button mushrooms, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
100 g (3 1/2oz) full-fat cream cheese
2 thyme sprigs, leaves picked
1 medium egg, beaten

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Put a large baking sheet in oven to heat.
2. Step 2
  Unroll pastry on to a large sheet of baking parchment. Roll out further to make a rough square. Chill while you prepare filling.
3. Step 3
  Melt half the butter in a large pan over medium heat and fry leeks until softened – about 10min. Add spinach and stir until almost wilted. Season to taste and empty on to a plate to cool.
4. Step 4
  Return pan to high heat with remaining butter; fry mushrooms until golden. Add garlic and fry for 1min more. Set aside to cool.
5. Step 5
  Mix cream cheese with thyme and seasoning. Remove pastry from fridge and spread cream cheese into a rough 22cm (8½in) circle in centre. Spoon over leeks and spinach; top with mushrooms.
6. Step 6
  Trim corners of pastry so border width around filling is roughly even. Fold pastry edges over in a loose, rustic style. Brush border with beaten egg. Carefully transfer (still on parchment) to the preheated baking tray in oven. Cook for about 30min until crisp and golden. Serve.
