Roll the dough out into a thin 1cm round and place it in a 23cm round pan allowing the dough to cover the sides. Pat it down and shape into the crust.

3

Add a layer of parchment paper over the dough and then add some baking weights or dry beans. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.

In the same pan, add another dash of olive oil and sautee the mushrooms with the garlic powder & oregano and a pinch of salt until wilted and starting to brown. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the flour to the milk and mix then add them over the eggs. Season with the nutmeg, cinnamon, oregano, salt & black pepper.
