And while we (mostly my husband) did take a few stabs at pastry making, our old kitchen just wasn't the best environment for it. Now that we've moved, though, all bets are off. :) Hi Margo - well, at the time this post was written, we really had NO counter space - I’m talking a workspace of about a square foot!

I made a commitment this summer to get more veggies in my diet and was looking for recipes to keep that commitment through the fall and winter months. Last night, I made my own version of this mushroom and swiss chard tart and it was delicious. Can't wait to have some of the leftovers for lunch this afternoon. Your blog is definitely one of my go-to sites for recipe ideas. Thanks! Thanks again for the inspiration.

Terry, with respect to the pie shells, for a tart like this that has the custardy binder, I usually roll out the pie shell a bit on a floured board then put it into one of those fluted tart pans with the removable bottom. If I'm doing a less soupy tart (like roasted veggies or summer tomatoes), I'll either press the pastry into a sheet pan or do a sort of rustic galette-type tart with the edges folded over.

A quick question for you: If the pie shell had not shattered, how would you have proceeded? What kind of pan would you have used, for instance?
