My easy tartlets loaded with a cheesy mushroom filling take advantage of refrigerated crescent roll dough. I think they're best warm from the oven with a sprinkling of green onion.-Betsy King, Duluth, Minnesota

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat 2 large saute pans over high heat. Working in batches divide the olive oil between the 2 pans. When the oil is hot but not quite smoking, add the mushrooms, season with gray salt and pepper, add the butter to each pan and allow to caramelize. Once mushrooms have cooked down to half their volume, transfer all mushrooms to 1 pan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until the light brown and fragrant. Add the thyme until it crackles. Add the cream and bring up to a simmer. Reduce the cream by about half and stir in the grated parmesan, and the lemon juice. Shut off the flame and quickly stir in the beaten egg. Remove from the stove and let cool to room temperature. Add parsley and stir.
- While mushroom mixture is cooling, roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface. Roll the dough out so that it will line a 10-inch removable bottom tart pan. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with the dry beans. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Remove beans and paper.
- Lower oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
- When both the filling and shell have cooled to room temperature fill the shell with the mushroom mixture and top with the crumbled blue cheese. Arrange the tart mold on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Slice in wedges and serve.
MUSHROOM WALNUT TARTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-count muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the pie crust mix according to package instructions. Evenly divide the dough into 10 pieces. Divide the dough among the cups of the muffin tin, and press into the bottom and up the sides in an even layer to form a mini crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the mushrooms are golden. Set aside 10 mushroom slices to garnish the top of the tarts. Set aside 1/3 cup mushrooms and onions for Round 2 Recipe Braised Beef and Mushroom Soup.
- Add the remaining sauteed mushrooms and onions with the walnuts into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Pulse to coarsely chop. Add the breadcrumbs and beef broth, and a pulse a few times to mix in.
- Spoon the mushroom and walnut mixture into the pie crusts in the muffin tin. Top each with a reserved mushroom slice. Bake until the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin about 30 minutes before carefully removing the tarts.
WILD MUSHROOM TART
This savory tart features a quickly made puff pastry. (You can use store-bought, if you wish, but this dough is easy and fun.) There's enough for two tarts, so store half in the freezer, rolled out, for later use. Make the dough up to a day or two in advance, and use chanterelles or other pale wild mushrooms, if possible. If using cultivated mushrooms, a combination of sliced shiitake, white button, oyster or king trumpet would be nice, as portobellos or cremini make a dark, somber-looking tart. Serve as a first course or as a light lunch, accompanied by a simple green salad.

Steps:
- Make the tart dough: Put the 2 cups flour and salt in the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (If you don't have one, you can prepare the dough by hand.) With the mixer set on low speed, work half of the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add remaining butter cubes and ice water, and mix just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very soft, studded with butter chunks and a bit sticky - this is correct.
- You should have 550 grams/20 ounces of dough. Divide into 2 (275-gram/10-ounce) balls. Dust each with a little flour and press into a disk about 1-inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Dust the work surface with flour. Press one disk into a rough square, then roll it into a 6-by-12-inch sheet. Fold the sheet in half, making a 6-inch square. Dust with flour lightly, as necessary, and roll the square into a 6-by-12-inch sheet again, then fold in half to make a 6-inch square. Finally, roll dough into a 6-by-18-inch sheet, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate, wrapped, for 30 minutes to keep dough from shrinking when baked, or freeze. (Roll out the rest of the dough at your leisure, then freeze for the future, or refrigerate and use within 2 days.)
- Make the filling: Set a wide skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When oil is wavy, add onions. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
- In the same pan over medium-high heat, add mushrooms (and a little more oil if necessary). Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and red-pepper flakes (if using), stir well and turn off heat. Combine mushrooms and onions, set aside and let cool to room temperature. (Filling can be made several hours in advance and left at room temperature, if desired.)
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a small rubber spatula, spread crème fraîche over the pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border. Distribute onion-mushroom mixture evenly over the crème fraîche. Dust with Parmesan and fold pastry edges up, pinching at the corners to form a low rim. Bake until pastry is crisp and golden and top of mixture is lightly browned, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Slide baked tart onto a cutting board and pull away the parchment. Let tart cool slightly before cutting. Sprinkle with parsley and cut tart crosswise into wide slices (or, if preferred, into wedges). Serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat and crisp shells according to package directions. Let cool completely.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with another tablespoon oil and remaining mushrooms. When mushrooms are cool enough to handle, finely chop.
- Chop white and pale-green parts of the leeks and wash and dry well; reserve dark-green tops. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, wine, and cream. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, finely dice leek green tops and wash and dry well. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek tops and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
- Fill each crisp shell with 1 teaspoon mushroom mixture. Top with leek greens. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms: This will give your tarts a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
- Use a good quality puff pastry: This will make your tarts light and flaky. You can either make your own puff pastry or buy it pre-made.
- Don't overfill the tarts: Otherwise, they will be difficult to eat and the filling may spill out.
- Bake the tarts until the pastry is golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature.

Mini mushroom tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a light lunch or dinner. With their creamy filling and flaky crust, these tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
