Transport yourself to the enchanting world of Middle-earth with this delectable Mirkwood Mushroom Tart. Inspired by Tolkien’s epic tales, this rich and flavorful tart is filled with sautéed mushrooms and cream, all enveloped in a flaky, golden crust.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • 500g fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the fresh mushrooms. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Add thyme and remove from heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms with the heavy cream. Stir well until evenly mixed.
  3. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and fit it into a tart pan. Trim excess pastry and dock the base with a fork. Brush with beaten egg.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour mushroom filling into the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and set. Allow cooling before slicing.
