Wild Mushroom Tartlets
- 1 packet puff pastry
- 2 pounds wild mushrooms ( or whatever is available)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 piece garlic, minced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 sweet onion
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup ricotta

- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350
- Roll out puff pastry on floured surface and cut in 4-inch circles, leave on baking rack in the fridge, while prepping other ingredients. You should get about 8 rounds from a packet of puff pastry.
- Slice the onion in big chunks. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the balsamic and salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 45 minutes.
- While onions are roasting, saute the mushrooms in the butter with thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until tender about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix ricotta, parmesan and creme fraiche in a bowl.
- Take the puff pastry out of the fridge. Score around the edge, by poking the pastry with a fork about 1 cm from the edge.
- Spread the ricotta mixture on the puff pastry. About 2 tablespoons per tartles. Spread until you reach the scored edge.
- Mix onions and mushrooms and place evenly on top of ricotta mixture.
- Scramble the egg and mix with a bit of water to create and egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the wash.
- Bake for 20 mins, till the edges puff up and the pastry is slightly golden.
