Easy and Savory Mushroom Tart for breakfast or brunch
During the holidays, there usually no time at my house to prepare a scrumptious breakfast. I often make different types of tarts and quiche. I also buy ready made pie shell or puff pastry to save on time.
A tart is easy to make. I say easy because of the ready-made dough. Not a lot of effort is needed when you have your dairy products and vegetables. And not to forget spices.
My tarts and quiches are usually very simple. Dough, heavy cream, cheese, eggs, vegetables, and spices. It is the same recipe idea on the French side of the Caribbean.
For this particular recipe, the vegetables of choice are portabello mushroom. Portobello mushroom is meaty and sometimes referred to the vegan steak. They are flavorful and very healthy. Combine with dairy products; they are out of this world.
So here’s my version of Easy Mushroom Tart!
