Mushroom Tartlets Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a generous frying pan, add the onion and fry over moderate heat for about 7 mins until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar and seasoning, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Sizzle for 5 mins until you have driven off any moisture and the mushrooms are golden. Stir in the garlic for a few further mins, until fragrant, then turn off the heat and stir in most of the thyme (save some for sprinkling). The mushroom mix can be chilled at this point.
• To make the tartlet bases, cut 7-8cm circles out of the bread using a cookie cutter or glass. Butter one side and stick buttered-side down into a 12-hole tartlet tin. Freeze any leftovers to make breadcrumbs.
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 220C/200 fan/gas 7. Divide the mushroom mixture between the tartlets and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Don't be too tidy about this - any cheese on the tin will form a lacy edge to the tartlets. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over the reserved herbs and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook 5 min. or until tender, stirring frequently. Add cream cheese spread and Parmesan; cook and stir 1 min. or until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles; firmly press perforations and seams together to seal. Cut each rectangle into 12 squares. Place 1 square in each of 24 mini muffin cups with corners of squares extending over rims of cups. Firmly press dough onto bottom and up side of each cup. Spoon about 1-1/2 tsp. mushroom mixture into each cup.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley. Cool in pan 5 min. before serving.

Steps:

• Roll the pastry out on a floured surface and cut out 4 circles, about 15cm wide. Leave to chill on a lined baking tray in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a large frying pan until hot, then add the butter and fry the mushrooms for 5 mins until there is no liquid left in the pan. Season, then take off the heat and mix mushrooms with the Parmesan, parsley and garlic.
• Score a 1cm border around the edge of each tart, then spoon the mushrooms into the centre circle. Brush the edge with beaten egg, then bake the tarts for 20 mins until puffed up and golden. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Set aside 12 pretty mushrooms slices. Put the rest of the mushrooms slices in a food processor and pulse until ground into small pieces, about 10 seconds. Add the Gorgonzola, flour, breadcrumbs, tarragon, basil, lemon zest, salt, pepper and eggs. Pulse until a thick paste is formed, about 30 seconds more.
• Gently roll out the puff pastry to a 10-inch square. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut 12 rounds of dough. Poke the rounds with a fork.
• Lay 1 reserved mushroom slice in the bottom of each muffin cup. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture over the mushroom in each cup and top with a puff pastry round.
• Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes in the pan before inverting the tartlets. Serve immediately.
