Triple Mushroom TartThis dish is rich, but mild. The Canadian bacon punches up the flavor
to bring out the best of the cheese and mushrooms. It's wonderful
as a side dish, and also works very well for breakfast on cold
fall mornings.
Ingredients:
1 Uncooked pie crust
1 Cup fresh Shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 Cup fresh Chanterelle mushrooms, chopped
1 Cup Trumpet Royale mushrooms, chopped
1 Teaspoon snipped fresh marjoram
2 Tablespoons butter
3/4 Cup Gruyere cheese, shredded (about 3 ounces
)
3/4 Cup Swiss cheese, shredded (about 3 ounces)
1/2 Cup chopped Canadian-style bacon, cooked
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 Cup milk
1 Tablespoon chives, snipped
Canadian-style bacon, cut into thin wedges
Snipped fresh marjoram
preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Ease the uncooked pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan with a
removable bottom. Press the pastry into the flutes on the side, and
trim evenly with the top. Do not prick the crust. Line the pastry
with a double thickness of aluminum foil and bake 8 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another
4 to 5 minutes, or until it is set and dry. Remove the pie crust
from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
Using
a large skillet, cook the mushrooms and marjoram in butter over
medium high heat until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid
is absorbed. Remove from heat.
Combine the Gruyere and Swiss
cheeses and the chopped bacon in a large bowl. Add the mushroom mixture,
the eggs, milk and chives, stirring to mix thoroughly.
Pour into the
partially baked pastry shell and bake at 375 degrees for about 20
minutes or until set and golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack
for about 12 minutes.
Remove from pan and cut into wedges. Delicious
when garnished with Canadian-style bacon and fresh marjoram sprigs.
