Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 350 grams Mushrooms (mixed variety, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 125 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking tray, if necessary. Transfer the pastry to the prepared tray.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create the crust.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, half the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the inner rectangle of the pastry, avoiding the border.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Add the remaining minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

Arrange the cooked mushrooms evenly over the cheese mixture on the tart base.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the pastry border with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
