Method

  • -Directions-
  • Pastry - Place flour, salt, baking powder, cream cheese, egg yolk, water and vinegar in a food processor. Process until a smooth dough forms. Remove from food processor and slip into a food storage bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Filling - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon. Add the green onions, mushrooms and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes, or until mushrooms start to soften. Stir in sage, thyme, sun dried tomatoes, and merlot. Continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat an oven to 400°F.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread the mushroom mixture over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with the Roquefort. Fold the border over the mushrooms and cheese, pleating the edge to make it fit. The center will be open.
  • Bake until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, then slide the tart onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
