# Fresh Fungi Pastries The Taleggio Cheese Pie is Made with Grilled Mushrooms By Jordy E | Published 2013-02-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taleggio-cheese-pie References: [missmoss.co.za](http://www.missmoss.co.za/2013/02/05/mushroom-taleggio-cheese-pie/) & [agoodplacetogather.co.za](http://www.agoodplacetogather.co.za/) Miss Moss' Taleggio Cheese Pie was inspired by the A Good Place to Gather blog. The New Zealand-based author made it for her family last winter, and given its popularity at the table, she has dedicated a lengthy post to the dish. Although this recipe calls for the Italian taleggio cheese, it may be replaced with a variety of [soft cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-baked-cheese), inclusive of havarti, raclette or fontina. Standard [puff pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheddar-parmesan-cheese-snackers) is used as the base here, a product that one would find at most grocery stores. [Baked and grilled mushrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-truffle-pastas) are then laced in alongside garlic, thyme, egg, olive oil and of course, garlic. As it only needs to be placed in the oven for 15 minutes, it is both practical and delectable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Cheese Alternatives:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new plant-based cheese alternatives that can be used in recipes like Taleggio Cheese Pie. - **Convenient Meal Kits:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create convenient meal kits that include pre-measured ingredients for making dishes like Taleggio Cheese Pie. - **Gourmet Comfort Food:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore new gourmet comfort food recipes that incorporate unique ingredients like grilled mushrooms. ### Who This Affects Most - **Plant-based Food:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop and market plant-based alternatives to traditional soft cheeses for use in various recipes. - **Meal Kit Delivery:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create meal kit delivery services that offer recipes and pre-portioned ingredients for making gourmet comfort food at home. - **Gourmet Food Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Curate a selection of unique ingredients, such as grilled mushrooms, for gourmet home cooking and recipe development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Frozen Mini Mushroom Tartelettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-mushroom-tartelettes.md) - [Mushroom-Infused Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snfrisk-wild-mushroom.md) - [Hybrid Seasonal Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camembert-pork-pie.md) - [Plant-Based Pastry Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-garlic-mushroom-slice.md) - [Spore-Flavored Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-cheddar.md) - [Cauliflower-Packed Cheese Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cauliflower-cheese-slice.md) - [Pistachio Cheese Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penny-for-pound.md) - [Upside-Down Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-pastry.md) - [Cheese-Infused Shortbread Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano.md)
