Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat; fry the bacon for 3-4 mins until golden and crispy. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 mins until golden. Add the leeks and cook for 3-4 mins until softened and any moisture has evaporated. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
- Add the garlic and flour; cook, stirring, for 2 mins, then gradually stir in the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 mins until thickened. Take off the heat, stir in 150ml crème fraîche, then transfer to a 20 x 25cm baking dish.
- Unroll the pastry and use to cover the mushroom mixture, pressing it into the edges of the dish and trimming the excess. Brush with beaten egg, then slice a slit into the centre. Bake for 25 mins or until puffed and golden. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain well, then set aside for 5 mins. Mash until smooth; stir through the remaining crème fraîche and the spring onions. Serve with the pie.
- Get ahead: Assemble the pie without brushing with egg up to 24 hrs before and keep in the fridge.
