Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 4 ounces Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

To make the crust, combine the all-purpose flour and cubed unsalted butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between until the dough holds together when pinched.

Step 3

Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced button and shiitake mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates.

Step 6

Add minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with black pepper and set aside to cool.

Step 7

In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, egg, lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese, and ground nutmeg until smooth.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.

Step 9

Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Step 10

Top with the cooled mushroom mixture, spreading it evenly over the ricotta layer.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
