Filling: Heat butter and oil in a deep frying pan and saute mushrooms until golden brown. Add cream and thyme sprigs and reduce until cream thickens this will take some time. Season to taste. Add peppercorns and parmesan cheese. Keep warm.
Poppyseed Tart Cases: Place flour, salt, sugar, poppy seeds and butter in the bowl of a processor. Process until crumbs form. Add egg yolk and then add water, half a tablespoon at a time, until pastry comes together. Turn out onto a floured board and bring together with your hands.
