Mushroom Tart image

Like the asparagus tart that's a harbinger of spring (see page 69), this mushroom-topped variation is a crowd-pleaser. It makes a lovely dinner, or, when cut into bite-size pieces, a perfect hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Flour for rolling out puff pastry
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed according to package instructions
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
2 packages (10 ounces each) white mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 package (10 ounces) fresh baby spinach
2 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

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.
