Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, fry bacon. Drain on paper towels & crumble.
  2. In the same saucepan, add onion & sprinkle with some salt. Sauté until almost tender then add mushrooms & cook until moisture is released & evaporated.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  4. On a sheet of parchment paper, lay out the 2 sheets of puff pastry slightly overlapping about 1/2-inch to form a 16 x 9-inch rectangle (cut off any excess pastry). Press the overlapped seam together with a fork. With a sharp knife, score pastry about 1/2-inch in from edges. With any excess pastry that is left over, cut into thin strips & place around the outside edge to help form a ‘lip’.
  5. Spread the Boursin cheese over pastry but NOT on the border. Sprinkle grated cheddar evenly on top.
  6. Top the cheeses with the onion/mushroom mixture. Then add seeded tomato slices & sprinkle with minced garlic. Season with salt, pepper & Italian seasoning. Distribute crumbled bacon over tart evenly. Brush edges of pastry with a bit of egg wash.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the tart is crisp & golden.
