• 6 roll out pâte brisée to a 12-by-18-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. spread mushroom-bacon mixture over dough, leaving a 3-inch border. tuck tomatoes into filling, leaving some poking out. sprinkle with cheddar. fold in edges to form a 6-inch-wide open-topped crust; brush crust with egg wash.
