Savory Rustic Tart

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pie crust
  • 1 package Boursin cheese
  • 8-10 oz Cremini mushrooms sliced
  • ½ pound Asparagus ends removed then cut in half
  • ½ red bell pepper sliced thin
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • 1 tsp each pepper and garlic powder divided
  • ¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Unwrap Boursin cheese and set it on the counter to soften.  Roll out your pie crust to a 12-inch or larger circle.  It doesn’t have to be the prettiest circle… remember it’s “rustic”.  Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a skillet over medium heat.  When it’s melted and sizzling, add the mushrooms and half the seasonings. Saute, stirring often, until they begin to soften.  Transfer to a dish and set aside.  Repeat this process with the asparagus and bell pepper together.
  • Using an offset or rubber spatula, spread the Boursin all over the middle of the pie crust, leaving about 2 inches around the perimeter.  Add the mushrooms on top and then the veggies.  You can arrange them in a pattern if you wish.  Fold up the edges all around to make a little wrapped package of dough with an open top and crimp together the pieces that overlap.
  • Brush with beaten egg and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.  Sprinkle the top with crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese.  Let it cool slightly and slice.
