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.

MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Put 175g Flora 100% Natural Ingredients, wholemeal flour, half the thyme and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until it starts to clump together. Add 2-3 tbsp cold water and pulse again until it forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tbsp spread in a frying pan, and fry the mushrooms and onions for 10 mins until soft and lightly golden. Season well and remove from the heat.
• Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Add a large flat baking sheet to the oven to heat up. Whisk the soft cheese with half the chives, remaining thyme and all the garlic. Season well.
• Roll the pastry out in between two sheets of parchment to a rough rectangle shape, the thickness of a £1 coin, about 30x40cm. Remove the top layer of parchment and smooth over the soft cheese mixture, leaving a 5cm border. Spoon over the mushrooms, in an even layer over the soft cheese, then fold over the 4 sides of the border to overlap the filling slightly. Trim the sides before you fold over if you need to, but will look lovely when baked either way. Glaze the pastry with egg.
• Using the parchment to help you, slide the tart onto the hot tray with the paper. Bake for 35-40 mins until the pasty is cooked though, and crisp. Scatter with the remaining chives to serve, along with a green salad.
