Mushroom Tarts
Another Delicious and Easy Mushroom Recipe
- Serves: 6
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
These tarts are a simple variation on the mushrooms on toast above using puff pastry to create a simple tart case. Cut your case into shape you wish such as the rectangles shown in the picture. You could also serve your tarts with a mixed lettuce garnish and topped with a poached egg.
Ingredients
- 3 sheets ready rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg yolk
- 40g butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves chopped fine or crushed
- 300g mixed fresh mushrooms of your choice sliced if larger
- 2 tablespoons marsala or sherry
- 100ml stock or thick cream
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 100g each gruyere or cheddar and parmesan cheeses
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220deg C
Cut two circles from each pastry sheet (use a plate or saucer as a guide)
Place the pastry circles on an oven tray lined with baking paper. You may need two trays depending on size.
Prick the circles with a fork leaving a 2cm edge not pricked.
Beat the egg yolk with a pinch of salt and a little water and brush the pricked area of the pastry circles. Don't brush the edges as you want them to puff up and brown to form the case.
Bake in the centre of a hot oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven.
Heat a heavy frying pan then add the butter and oil and saute the garlic, stirring for about 2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook over medium high heat, stirring until they release their juices.
Add stock or cream and cook stirring to reduce until thickened.
Season and stir in most of the parsley.
When ready to serve, spoon the mushrooms into the centre of the pastry cases heaping them up in the middle.
Scatter cheeses over the top and sprinkle with remaining parsley then pop under a hot grill briefly just to melt and lightly brown the cheese.
