Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 300 grams Cremini mushrooms
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 small Shallots
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 120 grams Grated Asiago cheese
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour, then roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares per sheet (8 total) and place them on the baking sheets.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 1 cm (1/2 inch) border around each square, being careful not to cut all the way through. Prick the inside of the border with a fork to prevent it from puffing up excessively.

Step 4

Chop the cremini and button mushrooms into small pieces. Mince the shallots and garlic.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle with the salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.

Step 7

Mix in the heavy cream and cook for 2 more minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the grated Asiago cheese and the chopped parsley.

Step 8

Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly onto the center of each pastry square, staying within the scored border.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash along the borders of each tart to create a golden crust while baking.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining Asiago cheese over the mushroom filling.

Step 11

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
