    Ingredients

    • Puff pastry - Make sure to complete thaw it in the refrigerator before using it in this recipe.
    • Cheese - I really love gruyere cheese in this dish.
    • Mushrooms - We use white mushrooms for this tartlet.
    • Butter - Unsalted butter will add additional flavor to the mushrooms.
    • Olive Oil
    • Thyme - Fresh thyme is the perfect herb for mushrooms.
    • Flour - We use the all-purpose variety in this recipe
    • Egg - We only use a little bit of the egg to brush onto the outer edges. The eggwash is what gives the pastry the perfectly browned edges.
    • Salt

    Note: Refer to the recipe card below for exact quantities.

    Instructions

    Time needed: 40 minutes.

    How to Make Puff Pastry Mushroom Gruyere Tart

    1. Step 1

      Prepare the Pastry
      The puff pastry should be completed thawed in the refrigerator and the oven will need to be preheated to 400 degrees F. After lightly dusting some flour onto your work surface, you will need to lay out the pastry and make serrated edges with a knife or pizza cutter, leaving about ½ inch around each edge. One cup of shredded gruyere cheese should be spread out over the pastry leaving the border clean.

    2. Step 2

      Prepare the Mushrooms
      After mushrooms are prepped and clean, saute them in a little olive oil and butter for 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess liquid when finished, then spread them out across the cheese.

    3. Step 3

      Prepare an Egg Wash
      Prepare an egg wash by whisking egg yolk and 2T of water. After the pastry bakes for about 15 minutes, use a pastry brush to lightly brush egg wash over the border. Return to oven and bake 5-10 more minutes until it turns light brown in color.

    4. Step 4

      Assemble and Serve
      Remove from the oven and garnish with thyme (if desired). Cut pastry into four pieces and serve warm.

    Variations

    • Add-ins - Caramelized onions would make a nice addition to this pastry.

    FAQ

    Can you reheat puff pastry?

    The simple answer is yes, but it will lose some of its crispy texture. Puff pastry can be reheated in an air fryer, in the oven, or in the microwave. Make sure that you don't store your puff pastry for more than a few days in the refrigerator because it can develop mold.

    Should you wash mushrooms?

    There are differing opinions on this. If mushrooms look fairly clean, then a damp cloth should work just fine to clean them up a bit. If they are really dirty, you can try shaking them clean in a colander, but you may have to result to washing them under water.
