Time 45m

Yield Six or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 partly baked 10-inch tart shell (see recipe)
1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons, butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 pound ground lean beef
1/4 pound mushrooms, finely chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 teaspoons dried marjoram
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup finely chopped chives or scallions

Steps:

  • Prepare the tart shell and set it aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat two teaspoons of the butter in a skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they are wilted. Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up any lumps with the side of a heavy metal spoon. Cook until the meat has lost its raw look. If any fat has accumulated, drain it off in a sieve and discard it.
  • Add the remaining butter, the mushrooms, green pepper, celery, marjoram, salt and pepper.
  • Combine the whole egg, egg yolk, cream, milk and chives or scallions in a mixing bowl and beat thoroughly. Add the meat mixture and stir to blend.
  • Pour the mixture into the tart shell. Place a baking sheet in the oven. Put the filled tart shell on the sheet and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until the custard is set.
