Puff Pastry Mushroom Tarts

These are the most ultimate flaky puff pastry mushroom tarts with melty cheese, and Italian spices and herbs. All these savory and rich flavors are piles onto a golden delicious cloud of buttery flakey puff pastry layers! The tarts are fabulous as a vegetarian appetizer or snack, or you can serve them as a hearty side dish for festive gatherings.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You’ll need to briefly cook the mushrooms on the stove before layering on the cut pastry. Here are all of the best ingredients to use and why:

  • Puff Pastry Dough: To make these in a snap this recipe uses store-bought frozen puff pastry. You’ll need 1 sheet. Thaw before rolling out.
  • Egg Wash: Just 1 egg with a splash of water helps the pastry develop a golden-brown color.
  • Mushrooms: Any type of white mushroom will do nicely. Feel free to use shiitake, baby bella (cremini) mushrooms or even a mix.
  • Garlic, Salt, & Pepper: These add a punch of flavor.
  • Fresh Herbs: A dried Italian blend seasoning is my choices here, but you could use fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, and parsley.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: This recipe uses freshly grated mozzarella cheese but you could also use Gruyère, goat cheese, gouda, or a sharp white cheddar.
