Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 428°F. Place the pastry in a round baking dish, press it down well, and prick it in several places with a fork. Bake for about 17 minutes until the pastry is dry and golden brown. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 320°F.

Step 2

Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium heat, add the finely chopped shallots, and sauté until soft for about 2 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 8 minutes until they are golden brown and soft. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add 1 cup of grated cheese and the mushrooms. Mix well and pour the filling into the pastry. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top.
