Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6) and line a 23cm tart tin with the pastry, pressing it into the edges.

  2. 2

    Prick the base with a fork, line with baking paper and baking beans, and bake for 12 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a pan and cook the mushrooms for 6-7 minutes until golden and any liquid has evaporated, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Leave to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs with the double cream and season well.

  5. 5

    Scatter the mushrooms and gruyère cheese over the pastry base and pour over the egg mixture.

  6. 6

    Bake for 28-32 minutes until just set and golden. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
