Cheesy Green Bean & Mushroom Tart is a savory, flaky-crusted dish filled with sautéed mushrooms, tender green beans, and creamy cheese. Baked until golden and set, this tart is perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, offering elegance and comfort in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust or sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup green beans (trimmed and blanched)
  • 1 1/2 cups mushrooms (sliced, such as cremini or button)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 small onion or shallot (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a tart pan or shallow pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake for 8–10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are browned and moisture is mostly evaporated.
  3. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then rinse under cold water and drain.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and half of the shredded cheese.
  5. Spread the mushroom mixture into the pre-baked crust, arrange green beans over the top, and pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Swap green beans for asparagus or zucchini as a seasonal variation.
  • Use a gluten-free crust or hash brown crust for dietary preferences.
  • Reheat slices in the oven or air fryer to maintain crust crispness.
  • Sharp cheeses like cheddar or Gruyère add bold flavor.
  • Can be frozen after baking and reheated straight from the freezer.
