Mushroom Gruyere Tart Recipes

MUSHROOM AND GRUYèRE TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Take puff pastry out of freezer and allow to thaw while you prepare other ingredients.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter and olive oil. When skillet is hot and butter is melted, add the onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until onions have started to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and mushrooms with a bit more salt, cook for about a minute until the pan starts to get dry, about a minute.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and wine. Cook until no liquid remains, 5-7 minutes.
• Add the fresh herbs and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
• Roll out the puff pastry just a bit so that it is a rectangle, about 9 and ½ by 11 inches.
• Score a 1 inch border around the edge with a sharp knife. You want to cut almost all the way through, but not quite. Prick the inside of the border with a fork.
• Spread the grated cheese over the inner square of dough, trying not to go over the scored edge.
• Top the cheese with the mushroom mixture.
• Brush the border with the scrambled egg.
• Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and puffed up.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

WILD MUSHROOM AND GRUYèRE TART WITH FRESH HERB SALAD

Steps:

• For tart:
• Puree ricotta in processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Add 1 yolk and 2 teaspoons oil and blend. Transfer ricotta mixture to bowl; fold in crème fraîche.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté 7 minutes. Mix in thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add butter and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes longer. Mix in green onions.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface to 13x9-inch rectangle. Using sharp knife and starting 1/4 inch in from edge, cut score line around entire perimeter of dough, cutting halfway through. Brush 1/4-inch dough border with glaze. Transfer dough to ungreased heavy baking sheet. Spread ricotta mixture over dough, inside border. Top with half of mushrooms, half of Gruyère, then remaining mushrooms and Gruyère. Bake tart until crust is golden and Gruyère melts, about 25 minutes.

PUFF PASTRY MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5, no fan (if you have a convection oven reduce the temperature by about 20° or follow the manufacturer's instructions).
• Cut the button mushrooms into 1/4-1/3 inch (5-7mm) slices. Chanterelle mushrooms: leave small mushrooms whole, cut medium mushrooms into 2 parts, and large mushrooms into 3-4 parts. Don't cut the mushroom too thinly.
• Cut the shallot into slices, finely chop the garlic.
• Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. When hot add the onions and thyme, cook for a couple of minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
• Transfer the onions with garlic to a plate.
• Add oil to the pan and increase the heat to the highest setting. Add mushrooms in an even layer, starting with button mushrooms (chanterelle mushrooms should be on top of button mushrooms). Cook without stirring for 1-2 minutes then add the vinegar and cook, stirring, for about 4-8 minutes (depending on how powerful your stovetop is) until the mushrooms have reduced their volume in half and all the liquid is evaporated. Don't stir the mushrooms for about a minute when almost all liquid is evaporated, letting the mushrooms brown a little.
• Add the onions with garlic back to the pan, stir with the mushrooms. Season the mushrooms and onions with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and leave to cool slightly.
• Take the puff pastry out of the fridge. With a tip of a sharp knife, score through the top layers of the puff pastry by running the knife along all four sides of the dough (leaving about 1-inch / 2.5 cm border). Do not cut all the way through the dough. Transfer the pastry, along with the parchment paper that comes with it to a baking sheet. Prick the dough (but not the borders) with a fork.
• Sprinkle the cheese in an even layer over the dough.
• Top with cooled mushrooms and onions.
• Brush the edges of the tart with beaten egg. Prick the dough with a fork a couple times more (or it will puff up in the oven), not the edges, just the center of the tart.
• Bake the tart for about 20-25 minutes or until golden.
• Enjoy!
