Ingredients
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 (9-inch) frozen piecrust, thawed for about 10 to 15 minutes
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup thinly sliced shallots
- 3/4 pound mixed wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles, hedgehogs and creminis), roughly chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup dry sherry or white wine
- 1/2 cup vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray. Remove pie crust from aluminum tin and press into bottom and sides of tart pan. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork then line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer pan to a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Gently remove paper and beans, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
-
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add sherry and broth and simmer, stirring often, until liquid has almost evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes more. Stir in crème fraîche and simmer again until liquid has almost evaporated, about 10 minutes.
-
Transfer contents of skillet to tart pan and spread out evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese over mushroom mixture, arrange pan on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden and tart is bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes. Set aside to let rest for 10 minutes then cut into slices and serve.
