For the pastry:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sliced mushrooms
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
To make the pastry, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use it to line a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
To make the filling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until browned and tender.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and remove the skillet from the heat.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs. Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spread the mushroom and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pastry crust. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top.
Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
