Best Mushroom Fontina Puff Pastry Tart Recipes

MUSHROOM TART WITH FONTINA AND ASIAGO CHEESE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saute pan over medium heat until butter foams.
• Add garlic and mushrooms.
• Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. sea salt and stir until the mushrooms start to release their moisture and begin to shrink, 2 - 3 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high so that you hear a steady sizzle; stir occasionally.
• In about 5 minutes, when liquid evaporates and mushrooms begin to brown, give just an occasional sweep with the spoon (about once a minute) to let the mushrooms brown nicely, cooking them another 2 - 4 minutes.
• Resist desire to stir to often.
• Turn off heat and toss in the parsley and pepper to taste, adding more salt if needed.
• Add other herbs.
• Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, thaw the puff pastry at room temperature until pliable, 45 minutes.
• Position a rack on the bottom rack of the oven at 425 degrees F.
• Lightly dust work area with flour.
• Unfold the pastry sheet and roll into rectangle about 10 x 15 inches, and about 1/16" thick.
• Slide it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• With the exception of about an inch border around the edges of the pastry, prick the pastry all over with a fork.
• With a pastry bush, brush the beaten egg over the border only (you won't need all of it, so fry it up and either eat it or give to your puppies like I did).
• Bake until the pastry begins to puff and the surface feels dry, about 5 minutes.
• Scatter the sauteed mushrooms onto the pastry, leaving an inch of the border uncovered.
• Bake until the crust border is puffed and deeply golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Scatter the cheese over the mushrooms and continue baking until the cheese melts, another 5 minutes.
• Let cool briefly on a rack.
• Slide tart off of the pan and parchment paper.
• Slice and serve.

MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place the pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score the dough to form a 1-inch border. Using a fork, prick the dough inside the border every 1/2 inch. Bake until golden, rotating the pan once, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, toss the onion with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt. Cover and cook over medium heat until the onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir. Continue cooking with the cover on for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the mushrooms; cover and cook until tender and all liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Fold in the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Drain any liquid.
• Top the dough with the mushroom-spinach mixture. Scatter the onions and goat cheese on top. Bake until the cheese is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
