1 lb sweetbreads
2 Tbsps vinegar
1 tsp salt
Savory Pie Crust
1 cup Mornay sauce
(2 Tbsps butter
2 Tbsps flour
3/4 cups milk
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
dash tsp nutmeg
.75 oz gruyère, grated
.75 oz parmesan, grated)
1 egg, well beaten
1⁄4 lb mushrooms, thinly sliced
Ground pepper to taste
1⁄4 cup grated parmesan
1 Tbsp egg wash
- Soak the sweetbreads in cold salted water for 1 hour, then drain.
- In a saucepan bring 4 cups of water, the vinegar, and salt in saucepan to a boil.
- Add the sweetbreads, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Once cooked, remove with a slotted spoon and dunk in ice water to stop the cooking.
- When chilled, remove the outer membrane, cut out tubes and remove any fat. Cut into small cubes.
- Roll out the pastry on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick, then line a pie dish and pop into the refrigerator as you finish the next steps.
- Preheat the oven to 425F with the rack on the middle.
- To make the Mornay sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook until it's just starting to turn golden (to cook out the flour taste).
- Whisk in the milk in a steady stream; keep whisking until it turns into a smooth, thick sauce. Mix in the salt, pepper, thyme and nutmeg, then whisk in the egg yolk. Stir in the grated gruyère, and the parmigiana.
- Beat egg quickly into Mornay Sauce.
- Meanwhile, in a little butter, saute the mushrooms.
- Once the Mornay Sauce is finished and the mushrooms have sweated, combine them along with the sweetbreads, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Turn the filling into the pastry and sprinkle it with the cheese.
- Pop the pie in the oven and bake, first for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake and additional 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown.
- Brush edge of the pastry with egg wash and bake an additional 10 minutes or until pastry is well browned.
