Step by step recipe

• 1: Prepare and slice 100 g mushrooms, then set aside.

• 6: Finish by brushing the top of the tart with melted butter.
• 7: Bake low in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
• 8: Leave to cool, preferably on a wire rack.

Remarks

You can use olive oil instead of butter in stage 6, or – for a bolder effect – hazelnut oil.
