Mushroom Bacon Tart

 

It was a cold and dreary day.  A day you just want comfort food. This was exactly what we needed on a day such as this.

4 slices bacon, chopped

12 oz. assorted fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 cup thinly sliced onions

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 t. kosher salt

1/4 t. ground black pepper

1 (14.1 oz.) package refrigerated pie crusts

1 (5.2 oz.) package spreadable garlic and herb cheese (I used Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese)

1 egg

Garnish:  sliced green onions

In a large cast-iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, 5 - 7 minutes.  Remove bacon using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels, reserving 2 T. drippings in the skillet.

Add mushrooms, green onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to dripping skillet; cook, stirring until mushrooms are browned 5 - 7 minutes.  Remove from heat; let cool.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  

On a lightly floured large piece of parchment paper, unroll piecrusts, and stack together; roll crusts to a 14-inch circle.  Spread cheese onto crust, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides.  Spread mushroom mixture and three-fourths of bacon onto the cheese.

Fold excess dough over mushroom mixture (dough will not fully cover mushrooms).  In a small bowl, beat egg; brush onto edges of the crust.  Transfer tart on parchment to a 14-inch round cast-iron baking sheet.

Bake until crust is golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.  Top with remaining bacon; let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onion, if desired.
