Mushroom and Cheddar Tart

At home, savory tartlets are rather a great classic because they are easy, quick to make and you can put almost anything in the refrigerator, which can sometimes be more than practical… For this savory Mushroom and Cheddar Tart recipe, we didn’t stock up at all but I picked out some lovely fresh mushrooms from the market and used old Cheddar cheese I brought straight from England.

It was really succulent and perfect accompanied by a small green salad.

For this version, I again used my traditional pie crust without butter but you can make a classic shortcrust pastry if you prefer.

Prep Time:15 minutes mins

Cook Time:1 hour hr

Total Time:1 hour hr 15 minutes mins

Course: Main course, Starter

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 500 g mushrooms
• 100 g grated old cheddar
• 1 large shallot
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 small drizzle of oil
• 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 10 cl cream
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper
• 1 homemade pie crust

Instructions

• Prepare your tart base, roll it out and place it in a tart dish.
• Clean your mushrooms and cut them into strips.
• Slice the shallot and cut the garlic into very thin slices.
• In a pan, heat the butter with a drizzle of oil. Brown the garlic and shallot for 2 minutes over medium heat.

  Then add the mushrooms and stir as little as possible otherwise they will release a lot of water.

  Heat for 10 to 15 minutes so that the mushrooms start to brown on some sides.

  Salt and pepper then place them on your tart base.
• Preheat your oven to 180°C.
• In a bowl, beat together the egg, whole grain mustard and cream then pour over the mushrooms.
• Scrape the cheddar on top and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the tart is golden brown.

Notes

If the mushrooms release a lot of water, drain it so they can brown well.
