MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 2 large saute pans over high heat. Working in batches divide the olive oil between the 2 pans. When the oil is hot but not quite smoking, add the mushrooms, season with gray salt and pepper, add the butter to each pan and allow to caramelize. Once mushrooms have cooked down to half their volume, transfer all mushrooms to 1 pan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until the light brown and fragrant. Add the thyme until it crackles. Add the cream and bring up to a simmer. Reduce the cream by about half and stir in the grated parmesan, and the lemon juice. Shut off the flame and quickly stir in the beaten egg. Remove from the stove and let cool to room temperature. Add parsley and stir.
• While mushroom mixture is cooling, roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface. Roll the dough out so that it will line a 10-inch removable bottom tart pan. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with the dry beans. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Remove beans and paper.
• Lower oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• When both the filling and shell have cooled to room temperature fill the shell with the mushroom mixture and top with the crumbled blue cheese. Arrange the tart mold on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Slice in wedges and serve.

MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Line a 9- or 10-inch tart pan with the dough. Using a fork, pierce at regular intervals to allow for even baking. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to prebake and fill.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the eggs in a medium bowl. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Whisk the milk into the eggs. Add salt and pepper, and stir in the mushrooms and cheeses. Mix together well and turn into the crust, scraping every last bit out of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Place in the oven and bake 30 to 45 minutes, until set and lightly browned.

MUSHROOM-AND-BACON TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Add garlic and onion to skillet. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add to bacon.
• Return skillet to heat, and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add 1 1/2 cups mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until golden on edges and softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1 1/2 cups mushrooms. Stir cream and mustard into last batch in skillet, and cook for 30 seconds. Add to bacon-onion mixture, along with first batch of mushrooms. Let cool.
• Roll out pate brisee to a 12-by-18-inch rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread mushroom-bacon mixture over dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Tuck tomatoes into filling, leaving some poking out. Sprinkle with cheddar. Fold in edges to form a 6-inch-wide open-topped crust; brush crust with egg wash. Bake until golden brown and center is bubbling, about 55 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Put 175g Flora 100% Natural Ingredients, wholemeal flour, half the thyme and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until it starts to clump together. Add 2-3 tbsp cold water and pulse again until it forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tbsp spread in a frying pan, and fry the mushrooms and onions for 10 mins until soft and lightly golden. Season well and remove from the heat.
• Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Add a large flat baking sheet to the oven to heat up. Whisk the soft cheese with half the chives, remaining thyme and all the garlic. Season well.
• Roll the pastry out in between two sheets of parchment to a rough rectangle shape, the thickness of a £1 coin, about 30x40cm. Remove the top layer of parchment and smooth over the soft cheese mixture, leaving a 5cm border. Spoon over the mushrooms, in an even layer over the soft cheese, then fold over the 4 sides of the border to overlap the filling slightly. Trim the sides before you fold over if you need to, but will look lovely when baked either way. Glaze the pastry with egg.
• Using the parchment to help you, slide the tart onto the hot tray with the paper. Bake for 35-40 mins until the pasty is cooked though, and crisp. Scatter with the remaining chives to serve, along with a green salad.

WILD MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend flour and salt in processor. Cut in butter using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add enough water to blend dough. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic, chill 45 minutes.
• Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim edges, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang in to form double-thick sides. Press tart edges to raise dough 1/8 inch above pan. Chill 30 minutes.
• For filling:
• Bring 1 cup water to boil in saucepan. Add porcini; remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes. Spoon porcini from liquid; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add porcini and crimini mushrooms. Season with salt; sauté until deep golden, about 10 minutes. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Add Cognac and reserved porcini liquid, leaving any sand behind in saucepan. Boil until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Mix in 1 tablespoon herbs. Cool.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans; bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
• Sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese in crust. Cover with mushrooms. Whisk cream, yolks, egg and 1 tablespoon herbs in bowl. Pour custard over mushrooms. Top with remaining cheese. Bake until filling is set and top is golden, about 30 minutes. Cool on rack 15 minutes.

FRENCH MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• In skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until soft and light golden. Add salt, pepper and savory to taste. Allow to cool.
• Cut puff pastry dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each out to a circle about 1/8 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter. Place circles on a baking sheet and prick dough lightly with a fork.
• Spread cooled onion mixture over dough.
• Arrange mushrooms on top of dough, slightly overlapping. Melt remaining butter and brush over mushrooms.
• Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake until pastry is crisp and golden brown, 10-15 minutes.

CARAMELISED MUSHROOM TARTLETS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a generous frying pan, add the onion and fry over moderate heat for about 7 mins until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar and seasoning, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Sizzle for 5 mins until you have driven off any moisture and the mushrooms are golden. Stir in the garlic for a few further mins, until fragrant, then turn off the heat and stir in most of the thyme (save some for sprinkling). The mushroom mix can be chilled at this point.
• To make the tartlet bases, cut 7-8cm circles out of the bread using a cookie cutter or glass. Butter one side and stick buttered-side down into a 12-hole tartlet tin. Freeze any leftovers to make breadcrumbs.
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 220C/200 fan/gas 7. Divide the mushroom mixture between the tartlets and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Don't be too tidy about this - any cheese on the tin will form a lacy edge to the tartlets. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over the reserved herbs and serve.
