Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Make the crust: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add butter and use a pastry blender or fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the crust and place it in the tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
- Remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans. Return the crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Make the filling: In a saucepan, sauté the mushrooms and onions until tender. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheese, diced ham or bacon, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the filling mixture into the baked crust and top with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
