Instructions
1. Combine dry ingredients: Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
2. Cut in butter: Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add water gradually: Drizzle in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
4. Shape and chill: Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
1. Prep the mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms.
2. Sauté the veggies: In a large skillet, sauté the shallot and garlic in a bit of olive oil until softened.
3. Cook the mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Deglaze the pan: Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce by half.
1. Roll out the dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle.
2. Prepare the tart pan: Fit the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim any excess dough.
3. Blind bake the crust: Prick the dough with a fork and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and bake for another 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Make the custard: In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
5. Combine filling and custard: Pour the mushroom mixture into the pre-baked crust. Pour the custard evenly over the mushrooms.
6. Bake the tart: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden brown on top.
7. Let it cool: Let the tart cool completely before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
