Ingredients 

For the savory tart dough:

  • 180 g 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 80 g ⅔ cup whole grain flour
  • 80 g 1/3 cup butter
  • 80 ml 1/3 cup ice cold water
  • ½ tsp salt

For the mushroom blue cheese tart:

  • 300 g 10.5 oz brown button mushrooms
  • 150 g 5 oz blue cheese
  • 500 g ricotta
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 eggs
  • 120 g 4 cups Pure Whey protein powder from Gym Beam - if you don't want a high protein tart, you can replace it with flour
  • 2 tsp dry or fresh thyme
  • a handful of fresh dill chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the savory tart dough:

  • Add all the savory tart dough ingredients, except for the ice cold water, to a food processor and process on medium speed.
  • Gradually add the ice cold water, and when the dough has compacted, turn off the food processor.
  • Move the tart dough on the work table which was previously lightly powdered with flour and knead it for about 1 minute, until smooth.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes before using.

For the mushroom blue cheese tart:

  • Add all the ingredients (except the dough and mushrooms) to a food processor. Blend until you end up with a creamy mixture.
  • Slice the button mushrooms. Add them to the composition and mix with a spatula.
  • Roll the dough into a thin, 0.5cm layer.
  • Put the dough in a big tart pan (approx. 35cm diameter). Press the dough and gently lift it to coat the walls of the pan as well. If you're using store-bought dough, it will come with a baking sheet included, which you can leave on. If you choose to make your own dough from scratch, make sure to add a baking sheet to the pan first.
  • Pour in the filling.
  • Decorate with a couple more mushroom slices on top and a sprig of fresh thyme.
  • Bake the tart at 200C for 20 minutes.
  • Let it cool before serving.
  • Enjoy!
