How to Make Mushroom Crab Asparagus Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom (or a 13x9-inch glass baking dish) with cooking spray.
  3. Cook asparagus according to package directions until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender.
  5. Stir in bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
  6. Press the mushroom mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan (or into the bottom of the baking dish).
  7. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the mushrooms.
  8. Top with the cooked asparagus and crabmeat.
  9. In a medium bowl or blender, combine softened cream cheese, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed (or blend on low speed until smooth).
  10. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crabmeat.
  11. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center and the edges are golden brown.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley over the top.
  13. Let the tart stand for 10 minutes before carefully removing the side of the pan (if using a tart pan).
  14. Cut into wedges or squares and serve.
