Ingredients

• 1 package Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 1 medium Shallot
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Finely chop the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic.

Step 4

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the edges of each puff pastry circle.

Step 8

Spoon a small amount of the mushroom filling onto the center of each pastry circle, leaving the edges clear.

Step 9

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious appetizer.
