Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made tart crust
- 500g chanterelle mushrooms
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 eggs
- 200ml cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Carefully prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Gently clean the chanterelle mushrooms using a soft brush to remove any dirt. Slice the mushrooms into uniform, thin pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat a small amount of butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the pre-made tart crust into a 24cm tart pan, carefully pressing the dough into the edges and trimming any excess.
- Spread the sautéed onion and garlic mixture evenly across the bottom of the tart crust.
- Arrange the sliced chanterelle mushrooms over the onion layer, creating an even distribution.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the mushrooms, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the tart.
- Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the tart cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to stabilize.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Slice into 8 equal portions.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful Swedish-inspired appetizer or light main course.
Tips
- Mushroom Selection: Fresh chanterelle mushrooms are key to this recipe, but if you can't find them, feel free to substitute with other wild mushrooms like porcini or shiitake for a different flavor profile.
- Onion Sautéing: Make sure to sauté the onions until they are golden brown to enhance their sweetness. This step is crucial for building the flavor base of your tart.
- Egg and Cream Mixture: For a richer taste, consider using half-and-half or crème fraîche instead of regular cream. This will add a luxurious texture to your filling.
- Cooling Time: Allow the tart to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set properly and makes for cleaner, more appealing slices.
- Serving Suggestions: This tart can be served warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile dish for any gathering. Pair it with a simple green salad and a glass of crisp white wine for a delightful meal.
