Mushroom- Fontina Puff Pastry Tart
- MUSHROOMS
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 6 ounces cremini mushrooms, cleaned, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 6 ounces white mushrooms, cleaned, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- kosher salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, 2 T total combination of thyme, sage, chives
- TART
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, Pepperidge Farm, thawed for 30-45 minutes
- flour, for dusting
- 1 egg, beaten well
- 1/2 cup Fontina cheese, grated, about 1 3/4 oz
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F Position the rack to the middle of the oven.
- Heat the oil and butter in a 12" saute' pan over medium heat. Once the butter starts to foam, add the mushrooms and garlic.
- The mushrooms will quickly absorb all the fat in the pan.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 t salt and stir until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to shrink, about 2-3 minutes, maybe a bit longer.
- Increase the heat so that you hear a steady sizzle; stir occasionally.
- In about 5 minutes, when the liquid evaporates, and the mushrooms start to brown, give an occasional sweep of the spoon, once a minute, to let the mushrooms edges brown nicely, about 2-4 more minutes. REsist the inclination to stir to often.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the pepper and parsley. Add more salt if needed. Add the other herbs and set aside to cool.
- TART:
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet at room temperature until pliable, 30-45 minutes.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Unfold the pastry sheet and roll it into a rectangle about 10x15 inches and 1/8" thick.
- Slide onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Prick the pastry crust all over with a fork but NOT the outer 1" on all sides.
- Over the 1" border, brush with the beaten egg wash. You will not use all of it.
- Bake the pastry until it begins to puff up and surface feels dry, about 5 minutes.
- Prick the crust with a fork or skewer to release the steam if it puffs up like a pillow.
- Scatter the mushrooms onto the pastry, leaving a 1"border.
- Bake until the border is puffed up and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and scatter the cheese on top the mushrooms and continue baking until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cool briefly and slice. Using a pizza cutter/wheel will help wit tis.
- Enjoy!
