Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of olive oil and a small knob of butter.
- Add sliced shallots with a pinch of salt and cook until soft and light golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add sliced mushrooms and another small pinch of salt. Cook without moving to get some color, then stir and continue until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and thyme for the last minute, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Assemble and Bake
- Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll gently to even out creases.
- Cut into rectangles or squares and transfer to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Score a border about half an inch from the edges without cutting through, then dock centers with a fork.
- Spread or crumble the goat cheese inside the border, then spoon the mushroom-shallot mixture over it.
- Brush edges with egg wash, then bake for 18 to 22 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Cool slightly on the pan before transferring to a rack. Finish with fresh thyme and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
These tarts pair excellently with crispy breakfast potatoes or a simple salad. They can also be made ahead with the filling stored in the fridge.
