Base

Pesto

Preparation

  1. Make the pesto

    5 min

    In a blender, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then blend until smooth.

    Blend just enough to keep a vibrant green color.

  2. Assemble the tart

    10 min

    Roll out the pie crust on a baking tray. Spread the pesto evenly over the base. Sprinkle breadcrumbs lightly, then add the sliced mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil.

    Breadcrumbs help absorb moisture and keep the crust crispy.

  3. Bake

    30 min

    Bake in a preheated oven until the crust is golden and crisp.

    Watch the edges to avoid overbrowning.

  4. Finish

    5 min

    Let the tart cool slightly, then top with torn mozzarella before serving.

    Add the mozzarella at the end for a fresh and creamy texture.
