Artichoke, Mushroom, and Parma Ham Tart

Directions

  1. Place flour, Parmesan cheese, butter, and a pinch of salt in food processor. Process briefly. Add the egg and 1 Tbsp. oil through feeder tube, adding extra oil if necessary; you should be able to bring the dough together in your hands.
  2. Wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
  3. Roll out to fit a 9 inch quiche pan with a loose bottom. Prick all over. Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Line pastry with foil, and cover bottom with uncooked beans. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans, and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove and cool.
  5. Saute mushrooms in 1 Tbsp. olive oil for 10 minutes. Drain and cool.
  6. Lay ham over the pastry base and top with mushrooms and artichokes.
  7. Beat together crème fraiche, eggs, parsley, and milk. Season well with black pepper and salt; pour mixture over the ham and vegetable.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden. Serve warm or cold.
