Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or plant-based cream for vegan option)
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, or nutritional yeast for vegan option)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using a store-bought pie crust, unroll it and press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess crust.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped cremini mushrooms and yellow onion. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, eggs, chopped fresh sage, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and onion mixture.
- Pour the pumpkin sage mushroom filling into the prepared tart crust.
- If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tart is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the Pumpkin Sage Mushroom Tart cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a vegan pumpkin sage mushroom tart, use a vegan pie crust, plant-based cream, flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water per egg), and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
- You can prepare the tart filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- This savory pumpkin sage mushroom tart can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Leftovers of this delicious pumpkin tart with sage and mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
