Mushroom And Bacon Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Add garlic and onion to skillet. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add to bacon.
• Return skillet to heat, and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add 1 1/2 cups mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until golden on edges and softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1 1/2 cups mushrooms. Stir cream and mustard into last batch in skillet, and cook for 30 seconds. Add to bacon-onion mixture, along with first batch of mushrooms. Let cool.
• Roll out pate brisee to a 12-by-18-inch rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread mushroom-bacon mixture over dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Tuck tomatoes into filling, leaving some poking out. Sprinkle with cheddar. Fold in edges to form a 6-inch-wide open-topped crust; brush crust with egg wash. Bake until golden brown and center is bubbling, about 55 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Chef's Tip: One of the tricks to making a good quiche is the proper balance of liquids in the recipe. There are a lot of places that liquids can hide, and ruin the dish. So, we are essentially going to precook our veggies, and remove as much hidden moisture as possible.
• 3. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place)

• 7. Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium heat.
• 8. Cook until the bacon begins to brown, and renders its fat into the skillet, about 5 - 7 minutes.
• 9. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
• 10. Add the onions to the skillet, and cook them in the bacon grease, until they begin to soften, about 3 - 5 minutes.
• 11. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
• 12. Add the mushrooms, and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5 - 7 minutes.
• 13. Add the spinach, and continue to cook until most of the moisture has evaporated, about 3 - 5 minutes.
• 14. Take the skillet off the heat.
• 15. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
• 16. Grate the cheese.
• 17. Chef's Note: You could use different cheeses; however, some cheese get very oily when cooked. I choose Gruyère because it is very stable when heated, and it is a perfect complement to the other ingredients in this recipe.

• 22. Chef's Note: If you really want to give this recipe an added level of flavor, sprinkle a bit of freshly-grated Pecorino Romano on the top before placing it into the oven, and then sprinkle a bit more on when you take it out.
• 23. PLATE/PRESENT
• 24. Serve while still nice and warm. Enjoy
• 25. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
