Notes
Mushrooms are best stored in paper bags in the crisper of your refrigerator. Avoid washing them in water if they’re dirty. Instead, brush off the dirt with a dry paper towel, or remove the outer skin with a small knife.
This tart is great for a vegetarian entree or a light lunch. The earthiness of the mushrooms really complements the creamy goat’s cheese.
