Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Melt a little ghee in a pan over a high heat. Fry the mushrooms, garlic and bay leaves in batches until golden. Season with salt.

2. Whisk the eggs, cream and nutmeg together. Season to taste.

3. Brush the butter onto the pastry, keeping each layer covered with a damp cloth while working. Line a 25 cm springform cake tin with the pastry, allowing the edges to hang over the sides of the tin. Top with the mushrooms and pour over the egg mixture. Crumble over the chestnuts. Bake it for 45 minutes, or until set.
