πŸ“ Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
2 shallots
2 tbsp butter
2 cups mushrooms
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 egg
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 egg yolk
2 eggs
3 nutmeg, ground
1 1/4 tsp salt
For garnish:
1 egg, beaten (for wash)
12-13 whole almonds

πŸ“‹ Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
  2. Add the butter and rub it with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Add the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of ice water, or enough to form a soft, but not sticky, dough. Toss with a fork and form into a ball.
  4. Lightly knead the dough with the heel of your hand for a few seconds to distribute the butter evenly.
  5. Re-form the dough into a ball and chill, wrapped, for at least 1 hour. (You can make this up to 2 days in advance)

2. Prepare the Tart Pan:

  1. Butter an 8-inch tart pan with a removable, fluted rim.
  2. Roll out 2/3 of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly-floured surface.
  3. Fit the rolled-out dough into the prepared tart pan, pushing it slightly down at the top edge to create thicker walls than the bottom.
  4. Roll a rolling pin over the top of the dough to cut off excess, then press the dough gently against the pan so that it rises about ΒΌ inch above the rim.
  5. Prick the bottom of the crust lightly with a fork and chill it for 30 minutes.

3. Prepare the Strips:

  1. Roll out the remaining 1/3 of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut out 8 strips measuring 8 Β½ x Β½ inches.
  3. Chill the strips on a lightly-floured baking sheet for about 30 minutes. Let them soften at room temperature for 5 minutes before using.

4. Make the Filling:

  1. In a saucepan, cook the shallots in butter over moderately-low heat, stirring, until softened.
  2. Add the mushrooms, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook over moderately-high heat, stirring, for about 4 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a small bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole egg, egg yolks, and stir in the mushroom mixture, chopped parsley, ground almonds, nutmeg, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Assemble and Bake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (218Β°C) and place a baking sheet in the lower third of the oven.
  2. Spoon the prepared filling into the chilled tart shell.
  3. Brush the rim of the tart with some beaten egg wash.
  4. Arrange 4 strips of pastry parallel to each other on the filling, trimming the ends to fit and pressing them gently into the shell.
  5. Arrange the remaining 4 strips of pastry over the first set to create a diamond pattern, trimming the ends as needed.
  6. Bake the tart for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 400Β°F (204Β°C).
  8. Leaving the tart on the baking sheet, arrange the whole almonds between the strips and brush them, along with the strips, with the remaining egg wash.
  9. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is a beautiful golden-brown and the filling is set.
  10. Allow the tart to cool for 12 minutes before carefully removing the side of the tart pan.
  11. Serve this Mushroom-Almond Tart hot, warm, or at room temperature, and savor every delicious bite!
