Spooky Forest Mushroom Tartlets
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Knife
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces mixed mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each into six equal squares.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for two minutes until softened.
- Stir in the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for six to eight minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and turn golden. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Place the pastry squares on the baking sheet. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the center of each square and top with crumbled goat cheese.
- Brush the exposed pastry edges with the beaten egg. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Prepare the mushroom filling up to a day ahead and store it in the fridge so assembly goes faster on the day of your gathering. Reheat leftovers in a 350-degree oven for five minutes to restore crisp pastry. If goat cheese feels too strong, swap in cream cheese for a milder finish.
