How to make it

  • * Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • * Rinse, pat dry and slice mushrooms (makes about 4 cups); set aside.
  • * Roll pastry 1/8-inch thick; fit into 9 inch pie pan; turn under and flute edges; prick with fork tines. Bake for 5 minutes; remove from oven.
  • * In a large skillet, melt 1 tbs. of the butter. Add onion; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet, set aside.
  • * Melt remaining 2 tbs. of butter in skillet; add mushrooms. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes; set aside.
  • * In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add sour cream, salt, tarragon, and black pepper; mix well.
  • * Reserve 1/3 of the mushrooms; add remaining sautéed mushrooms and onion to sour cream mixture; mix well.
  • * Pour into partially baked pie shell. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • * Heat reserved sautéed mushrooms until hot. Arrange on top of pie. Let pie stand 5 minutes before cutting.
  • ****When I made the rustic tart pictured above, I reduced everything to 2/3: 2 T butter, 1 lb. mushrooms, etc. I then rolled the crust out with a rolling pin as large as I could make it, piled the mushroom-onion mixture in the middle, and pulled the edges up around the filling. I baked it for only 35 minutes.****
