1
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
2
Heat butter in a skillet and add the liver; saute for about 3 minutes, or until all pieces are browned.
3
Add the mushrooms and allow to saute 3-5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened, and most of the liquid has evaporated.
4
Add the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and cream to the mixture; allow to cook and when it has reached a steady simmer again, carefully sprinkle the cornstarch in and mix until it is thoroughly combined and the sauce has thickened.
5
Remove from heat and allow to cool (as long as it takes you to roll out the pastry).
6
Divide the pastry crust in half; roll out half and line the piepan or tartform.
7
Pour the liver mixture in the piepan; brush the crust edges with the beaten egg.
8
Roll out the remaining crust and cover the tart; pinch and seal edges, then remove extra dough.
9
Cut a few vents in the top with a knife, then brush with beaten egg.
10
Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until nicely browned.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
