1

Prepare the dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of cold butter (cut into small cubes). Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add in 3-4 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2

Saute the mushrooms

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they start to soften. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.

3

Prepare the filling

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and mix until well combined.

4

Roll out the dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle that's about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a greased tart pan, pressing it gently to fit the pan and trimming any excess edges.

5

Assemble and bake

Pour the mushroom filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
