# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
02 - 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
03 - 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
05 - 2 tbsp melted butter

→ Filling

06 - 16 oz cream cheese, softened
07 - 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
08 - 1 tbsp olive oil
09 - Salt and pepper to taste
10 - 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
11 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
12 - 2 eggs
13 - 1/2 cup sour cream
14 - Fresh thyme for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine breadcrumbs, pistachios, Parmesan, feta, and melted butter in a bowl. Press it into a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
02 - Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic and mushrooms for around 5-7 minutes, letting the moisture cook off. Let the mixture cool.
03 - Whisk together sour cream, eggs, cream cheese, and grated Parmesan until smooth. Fold in the cooled mushroom-garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
04 - Spread the creamy mushroom mixture over the baked crust, smoothing it out. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until firm with a light golden top.
05 - Cool it for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with thyme and extra pistachios. You can serve it warm or let it sit at room temperature.

# Notes:

01 - Store in the fridge if making a day early
02 - Walnuts or almonds work if you're out of pistachios
03 - Tastes great with roasted veggies or a fresh side salad
