Puff Pastry Mushroom Tart

Recipe by becky

  • Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield8x12-inch tart 1x

A meatless mushroom tart recipe featuring sautéed mushrooms, cheddar cheese, and fresh herbs, all layered on a flaky puff pastry base.

Ingredients

Scale

15 milliliters olive oil (1 tablespoon)
450 grams mushrooms, such as white or baby bella, washed and sliced (16 ounces)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely minced (about 1 teaspoon), plus more to garnish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package directions if frozen
150 grams white cheddar cheese, grated (5 1/4 ounces; about 1 3/4 cups)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
15 grams grated Parmesan cheese (2 tablespoons), plus more to garnish
Ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F / 205° C. Line a half-sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment.

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, rosemary, and kosher salt. Cook until mushrooms soften and release their juices, about 4-5 minutes.

Unroll puff pastry on a rolling mat. With a sharp chef’s knife, trim to approximately 10 x 13 inches. (If your pastry sheet is a square instead of a rectangle, use a rolling pin to roll it a few inches longer.) Flip onto prepared tray.

With a pastry brush, brush the top of the pastry with a thin, even coat of egg wash. Avoid egg-washing the thin edges.

Scatter the grated cheddar cheese on top of the pastry, allowing a 1-inch border around the edges.

Mushroom puff pastry is best enjoyed on the day it is made. Wrap leftovers in foil and refrigerate for up to two days. Eat cold, or gently reheat in a 350° F oven for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
