1 batch of pie crust dough 2 cups chopped onion 2 Tbsp butter 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried rosemary ¼ tsp fennel seeds

Saute the onion and butter over medium heat until the onions are slightly translucent. Remove from heat and add the seasoning.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Divided the pie crust into 4 equal pieces, then roll each piece out into a circle about 4-5” large. Put some filling in each of them, fold in half, and crimp the edges closed. Brush the tops with melted butter.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the crust is golden.

Crust: 6 Tbsp butter 1 ½ cups flour ¼ cup milk ½ tsp dried sage, crushed

Filling: 3 cups mushrooms, chopped 4 garlic cloves, chopped ½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp dried fennel leaves 4 eggs 1 ½ cups milk 2 Tbsp flour 1 cup cheese, shredded or cut into chunks butter

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Mix the flour and sage. Cut the butter into the flour until it is crumbly. Stir in enough milk to make a dough that holds together but is not too wet. You can press the dough into a pie tin, or refrigerate it, then roll it out to make the crust.

Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the onions and garlic. Saute for a few minutes until the garlic has started to brown. Pour this mixture into the pie crust.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, seasonings, and cheese, until the eggs are thoroughly mixed. Pour into the pie crust.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is browned and the filling is solid in the center.

Custard: 3 ¾ cups milk ½ tsp salt 1 tiny pinch lavender buds ¼ tsp dried mint leaves 1/8 tsp dried chamomile flowers 1/3 cup honey ¼ cup + 1 tsp cornstarch 3 egg yolks 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ Tbsp butter

Combine 3 cups milk, salt, and honey in a saucepan over med-high heat. Grind the lavender, mint, and chamomile into powder and stir into the milk.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining milk. Add egg yolks and mix well.

When milk comes to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring as the mixture begins to thicken. Return to heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Pears: 2 pears 1/3 cup honey ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Arrange an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Cut the pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core and seeds. Arrange the pear halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, stir the honey, ginger, and vanilla. Spoon evenly into each pear half.

Broil the pears, rotating the pan once, until bubbling and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
