I'll admit it. I made Amy Sedaris' Tiddlywinks Toadstool Pie because of the name. That and because it has lots of mushrooms. This recipe is SUPER easy. Just pop a pie crust in the oven, saute some mushrooms and make a cream sauce. Then mix it all together and put it in the oven.
When I read the recipe in I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, I assumed it would turn out more like a quiche. Actually, it is like a very thick cream of mushoom soup pie. What can be better?
note* I couldn't figure out the Weight Watchers points for this recipe because there is no serving size designated. And come on, look at all that butter! Stay away from this if you are on a diet.

I have that book too and I've been a little afraid to cook anything from it yet so thank you for proving that Amy's recipes are just as good as her comedic timing.
