This is a rich, satisfying dish which I eat maybe once a year. I go full-fat and high-calorie in this dish because I eat it so rarely, and it is so worth the indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 pastry crust for 9-in pie shopping list
- 2 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced shopping list
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced shopping list
- 1 pound assorted mushrooms, sliced - I prefer cremini shopping list
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk shopping list
- 1/2 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
- 2 egg yolks shopping list
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 6 ounces gruyere cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups) shopping list
How to make it
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle, or, press the pastry dough into a tart pan pr pie plate, pressing the dough into the corners. Transfer to fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line the pastry with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil, pressing into the corners and edges. Fill at least two-thirds with baking weights -I use dried beans.
- Bake first for 10 minutes, remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie pan with the tongs of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool while making filling.
- Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and shallots, and cook, stirring, until brown - we want them to caramelize a bit. Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms first release their liquid and then liquid evaporates and mushrooms are dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Place tart pan on a baking sheet. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. Spread mushroom-onion mixture over the cheese, sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top and then top with remaining cheese.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs and egg yolks. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour over the filling, making sure it spreads out and covers everything.
- Bake until just set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.

I agree wholeheartedly on going all out on this dish... there are some things in life that deserve no less, and this is one of them. Besides, if you "eat it so rarely", it becomes a treat and not a threat.
Awesome recipe!! ^5
