Ingredients
  

For the Tart Base
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Use phyllo dough for a lighter texture
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Finely chopped; cremini or button mushrooms recommended. Substitution: shiitake or portobello.
  • 2 medium Shallots Finely diced; yellow onions can be used in a pinch.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 8 oz Goat Cheese Softened; substitute ricotta or feta if desired.
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Herbs Chopped; thyme, rosemary, or parsley.
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil For sautéing.
  • Salt To taste.
  • Pepper To taste.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • large skillet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to your desired thickness and cut into 3-4 inch shapes. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with softened goat cheese and fresh herbs, stirring until creamy.
  5. Place a generous spoonful of filling in the center of each pastry shape, leaving a clear edge. Prick the pastry lightly with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they puff beautifully.
  7. Allow the tarts to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
