Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups sliced shiitake, cremini or button mushrooms (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 medium leek, white and pale green parts only, halved lengthwise, rinsed and thinly sliced
  • 1 large or 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • One 8-ounce bunch kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Cheese Layer:

  • 2/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola (about 3 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (4 ounces), at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

For the crust: Combine the flour, salt and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly add 1/3 cup water and mix until a dough forms, adding more water if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Form the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick circle, about 9-inches in diameter. Brush with olive oil. Grill for 4 minutes per side. Let cool slightly.

For the filling: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, leeks, shallot, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 6 minutes. Add the broth and cranberries. Bring to a boil and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.

For the cheese layer: In a food processor, combine the gorgonzola, cream cheese, sour cream, honey, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth.

Using a spatula, spread the cheese layer evenly over the crust. Spoon the filling on top. Cut the tart into slices and serve.

    This was so good! Typical of Giada, this was very flavorful. To save time, I used a store bought whole wheat pizza crust and it worked fine. I had a lot of extra sauce but that's possibly because my pizza crust was smaller than what would have been created if I'd done the one in the recipe. I might just have to make it again tomorrow night so I can use the extra sauce. ; Thanks Giada.

    Absolutely Delicious!!!! It's savory and a lil sweetness from the cranberries. I used a store bought thin pizza crust. Also added some garlic ,1/2 of a small sweet onion and a small Thai red chili pepper for a lil kick!!! The sauce is wonderful. Definitely will be making this again. Thanks Giada!

    Very good, very earthy & fresh. The greens & shiitakes definitely make for an "earthy" dish, but the cranberries and honey in the cheese spread add a light sweetness. Next time, may sub goat cheese for the gorgonzola simply because I like goat cheese more. And to save time will just use store bought raw pizza dough from Whole Foods. And yes, ended up with about 1/2 the cheese spread leftover, but can use as a veggie dip!
