Crust

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together without being sticky.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped mushrooms until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 6

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, truffle oil, and sautéed mushroom mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  4. 7

    Add Parsley

    Fold in the chopped fresh parsley into the mixture.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 9

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.

  3. 10

    Fill the Tart

    Pour the mushroom and cheese filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 11

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is lightly golden.

  5. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
