Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a food processor, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, butter, egg, and salt. Pulse until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, covering the bottom and sides. Prick the base with a fork to avoid bubbling.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook until the mushrooms are soft and all the released moisture has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in fresh thyme leaves, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Cook until the cream cheese has melted and incorporated into a smooth mixture.
Season the mushroom filling with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring often.
Pour the mushroom mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
Return the tart to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the mushroom filling sets and the top is lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let the tart cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
