Savory Mushroom Tarts

Today’s Unique Creation: Savory Mushroom Tarts

Hey there! Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and savory recipe for mushroom tarts that are perfect for a cozy night in or a fancy dinner party. This recipe came to me when I was craving something savory and comforting, and these tarts hit the spot every time.

Ingredients:

puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
mushrooms, sliced (200g)
ricotta cheese (100g)
fresh thyme, chopped (1 tablespoon)
garlic, minced (2 cloves)
olive oil (1 tablespoon)
salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

rolling pin
baking sheet
saute pan
mixing bowl

Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut them into small squares or rectangles. Place the pastry pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, then sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, ricotta cheese, and chopped thyme. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the puff pastry squares, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to create a rustic tart shape.

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Tips for Perfection:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top of the tarts before baking. It adds a delicious nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the earthy mushrooms.

Serving:

Once the tarts are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These savory mushroom tarts are best enjoyed warm, either as a delicious appetizer or a light main course.
