    Serves 8

Ingredients

For crust

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup ice water

For filling

1 1/2 cups whipping cream
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon (generous) salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), room temperature

Preparation

  1. Make crust:

    Step 1

    Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter; process until coarse meal forms. Add ice water; process until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly before rolling out.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 15-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim off excess dough. Freeze crust 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans; bake until pale golden, piercing with toothpick if crust bubbles, about 15 minutes. Cool. Maintain oven temperature.

  2. Make filling:

    Step 4

    Bring cream and garlic to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until mixture is reduced to 1 cup, whisking occasionally, about 15 minutes. Cool. Puree in processor. Blend in egg and salt.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.

    Step 6

    Spread goat cheese over bottom of crust. Sprinkle mushrooms over. Spoon cream mixture over. Bake until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
