These Mushroom and Goat Cheese Mini Tarts make a delightful appetizer. The rich, earthy flavor of mushrooms pairs beautifully with the creamy tang of goat cheese, all encased in a flaky pastry shell.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
- 8 ounces mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 12 squares.
- Place each pastry square into the cups of a mini muffin tin, pressing down gently to form shells.
- Fill each shell with the mushroom mixture and top with crumbled goat cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
