All-purpose flour for rolling
02 -
1 egg for brushing, whisked
03 -
1 puff pastry sheet, defrosted
→ Filling
04 -
4 oz goat cheese with herbs
05 -
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
06 -
1 tablespoon of butter
07 -
2 chopped shallots
08 -
Salt and black pepper as needed
09 -
A handful of fresh thyme for topping
10 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
11 -
2 cups mushrooms, diced small
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prep a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
Heat up a pan with some butter and olive oil. Sauté the shallots until softened (around 2-3 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for a minute until it smells amazing. Toss in mushrooms and cook everything together until tender and dry (5-7 minutes). Add seasoning, then let it cool off.
03 -
Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface, then roll out the puff pastry to make it thinner. Chop it up into small shapes—rectangles are a good pick.
04 -
Spoon the cooled mushroom mix onto each pastry piece, then crumble goat cheese generously across the tops.
05 -
Flip up the edges of your pastry pieces to create a rustic look. Brush the exposed edges with the egg wash to give them that golden color.
06 -
Slide the tray in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and perfectly golden.
07 -
Scatter fresh thyme over the tarts and give them a few minutes to cool before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
Great as a fancy starter or a light lunch.
02 -
Easily prepped earlier and reheated.

Switch up mushrooms to your liking.
