Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 tbsp, cubed cold unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp cold water
• 8 oz, sliced cremini mushrooms
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
• 4 oz, crumbled goat cheese
• 1 large, beaten egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: To make the pastry, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut in 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 3 tbsp cold water until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 6-7 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and brown. Stir in 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Step 3: Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle. Transfer to a tart pan or baking sheet. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edges. Sprinkle 4 oz crumbled goat cheese over the mushrooms. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed.
4. Step 4: Brush the edges of the dough with 1 beaten large egg mixed with 2 tbsp heavy cream. Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese is slightly melted and bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
