directions

  • Bring 1 c water to boil, remove from heat. Carefully add dreid mushrooms and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in large skillet or saute pan, over medium heat, heat oil. When oil is hot add butter then saute green onions until they begin to slightly brown, then add yellow onion and cook until shiny and most liquid has evaporated. Add garlic and herbs, salt & pepper and cook just a minute or so until garlic becomes fragrant. Add white wine, sun-dried tomatoes, button mushrooms and rehydrated mushrooms that have been drained and chopped. Cook until most liquids have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Set mixture aside to cool.
  • On a floured surface, roll out pie crust and transfer to ungreased dark baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, crumble bleu cheese and add in the mushroom mixture and blend well. Spoon cheese-mushroom filling onto the center of pie crust and spread, leaving a 1-1/2" border. Fold edges of piecrust toward center, pleating to retain a circular shape; the filling will be exposed.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degree oven. Bake until crust is golden, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from ove nand let stand 10 minutes. Slide galette onto a serving plate, garnish with several sprigs of fresh thyme. Cut into 8 wedges and serve.
  • Serves 8 as appetizers.

  1. Very good. We had it as a main dish. For me the sundried tomatoes where a little strong. For DBF it was perfect! <br/>I had one slice left over, that I eat the next day and before warming it up I added a a splash of cream. I liked better that way.
     
  2. What a rustic, easy, delicious appetizer! This was a hit at my holiday party. I can't imagine messing with fancy pie crust ever again!
     
  3. I served this as an appetizer but I can see that in the summer this would make a great dish with a mixed green salad. This tart was not very hard to make....I had my 10 year old chop everything so it went very fast. I used a Clemson Blue cheese (which I believe is the best). Wonderful flavors.

In my backyard with my darling fur-grandchild, Lola who now lives in Denver with little "sister" Emmie and my daughter and son-in law. I live in Tulsa Oklahoma and I own a real estate management company. I love obviously, cooking! I also love to entertain, gardening, and hanging out on my deck with friends & a good glass of wine! My job consists of lots of problem solving & being creative and I think it relates well to the process of entertaining as well. What to cook, how to prepare, what's the most interesting presentation, etc??? My sister-in-law, another RecipeZaar chef is the consummate hostess & we have cooked many a fine dinner together! I love to watch Food Network & think Barefoot Contessa is great! Along with Giada De Laurentis & Paula Deen!
