Description
A rustic free-form mushroom tart made with flaky puff pastry, sautéed mushrooms, creamy cheese filling, tangy feta, and fresh thyme. This easy savory tart is perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups sliced mushrooms
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2/3 cup cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 salad onion, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk or 1 egg for egg wash
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, and leaves from 4 thyme sprigs.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and their moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a food processor blend the cream cheese, salad onion, garlic, and eggs until smooth.
- Roll the puff pastry into a 10-inch (25 cm) square and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1.5-inch border around the edges.
- Spread the cooked mushrooms on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Fold the pastry edges slightly over the filling to form a rustic tart.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta and the remaining thyme leaves over the top.
- Brush the pastry edges with milk or egg wash.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

- Cremini, button, or mixed mushrooms all work well in this tart.
- Spinach, zucchini, or roasted bell peppers can be added for extra vegetables.
- Rosemary or oregano can be substituted for thyme.
- Freshly grated parmesan can be sprinkled on top for extra richness.
