Mushrooms and thyme are among my favorite flavors. So, I really liked this recipe. Also, it gave me a great excuse to buy wild mushrooms at the farmer's market; I also bought a thyme plant for the recipe there!

I thought the tart came out really well. It looked nice - though not quite beautiful - and tasted incredible. I think it would have looked a bit better if I had used a proper tart pan with fluted edges. And, it's only fair to say that the great taste was probably a result of the many rich ingredients; it certainly was not dietetic!

We served the tart for dinner but I think it would be better for guests at brunch. (It's easier to eat a smaller portion that way, too.) I'd also like to see how the recipe would turn out as mini-tarlets as a 1st course for a dinner.

Although making the crust was fairly easy, it did extend the cooking time by quite a bit for me. Per my email last week, I think that this is a relatively easy recipe if you use a pre-made pie crust. There's little chopping to be done, which I like.

I look forward to other people's comments!

Hi Guys-
I want to make this tart this weekend but I want to do it without dairy. Any suggestions for a substitute for the heavy cream?
