What Goes in Mushroom Tart

• Mushrooms: You can use any type of mushrooms that you like, I went for chestnut/cremini brown mushrooms, but by all means, go for any type of mushrooms that you have available. Whether it’s white button mushrooms, wild mushrooms, or porcini mushrooms, it will taste amazing!
• Puff Pastry: I recommend getting an all-butter puff pastry. You have to read the label, but many brands use shortening and other types of fat. If you can’t find it, use pie crust instead.
• Cheese: I used Edam (semi-hard cheese), but Gruyere or raclette go very well here. You can also go for a mix of cheddar and mozzarella.
• Garlic, onion, and fresh thyme (you can also use rosemary).
• Olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, and an egg for the egg wash.

How To Make Mushroom Tart

If you’re using frozen puff pastry, you have to make sure that it’s thawed. I recommend that you thaw the frozen puff pastry in the fridge overnight, but if you don’t have time then you can leave it on the counter at room temperature to thaw. But, when puff pastry is warmed up it will melt so you really have to catch it during that sweet spot when it’s thawed but not melted? So keep an eye on it!

To make the mushroom tart, it’s just 4 simple steps:

1. Saute the mushrooms. Feel free to change things up and add other ingredients such as onions or even cherry tomatoes. But no matter what you do, always make sure that you’re using enough garlic because there’s nothing better than garlicky mushrooms in a mushroom tart!
2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, this will prevent the puff pastry from sticking to the sheet pan. Unroll the puff pastry sheet, then score the edges (create a border) and this will create your crust. Then using a fork prick the puff pastry sheet.
3. Grate some cheese, and sprinkle it over the puff pastry sheet.
4. Top with the sauteed mushrooms, and bake!

With the same method, the possibilities are endless! Make a mixed vegetable tart, tomato tart, asparagus tart, you name it! You can get as creative as you’d like, and add your own seasonings and flavors to make your own creation inspired by this mushroom tart.

Also keep in mind that this mushroom tart reheats beautifully. You can either reheat it in the microwave, or in the oven just for a couple of minutes until it’s warmed up. And you can even freeze it.

What To Serve Mushroom Tart With

Serve this mushroom tart warm as an appetizer, side, or even main. It goes so well with a side salad and a portion of french fries or oven-baked fries.
