Cut and place the strips on the sides and press down gently. Prick the center of the tart with a fork. Brush the whole tart with egg wash and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until dark golden brown. **Two times during the baking time pull the tart out and prick the center of the tart with the fork again. Cool.

Set aside when the first batch is done and fry the second batch. Do not put too many mushrooms in the pan at once, you want to fry them, not poach them. After the mushrooms are done and removed from the pan, add the last 2 tablespoons of butter, thyme, 2 sprigs of rosemary, and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds. Add flour and stir well. Cook for another 30 seconds. Stir again.

If you need to thicken it more, put it back on the heat for just a minute. Take out the rosemary sprigs that have been cooked. Take the mixture off the heat and let it cool for 2 minutes. Add the 3 tablespoons of cream. Stir well.
