– Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
– Herbed goat cheese (150 grams)
– Fresh thyme (2 tablespoons)
– Salt and pepper (To taste)
– Egg (for egg wash, 1, beaten)
– All-purpose flour (for dusting, as needed)
Instructions
- Thaw the Puff Pastry: Remove the puff pastry from the freezer, allowing it to thaw at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until easily manageable.
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Dice mushrooms into uniform pieces.
- Cook the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Sauté shallots and garlic until soft and aromatic.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut into desired shapes (squares or circles).
- Assemble the Tarts: Place the mushroom and shallot filling on each pastry piece. Top with crumbled herbed goat cheese.
- Egg Wash: Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown finish.
- Bake: Arrange tarts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
