Method
Base
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combine. Grease a 23cm pie dish and press mixture firmly in. This will create the thick crust of your pie. Bake in hot oven 200 degrees for 10 minutes. Pour off any excess moisture once cooked.
Cheesy Top
Heat a frypan over high and cook garlic, zucchini and mushrooms. You won't need oil the water from the vegetables is enough not to stick. Let them fry for 3-4 minutes. Beat cream cheese then add eggs and beat until well combine. Stir in cooked vegetables, then pour this onto the beef crust. Sprinkle the top with grated parmasen cheese.
Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the pie to set.
