My grandma made these every year for Christmas. The shells can be made ahead and frozen. No need to defrost the shells, just fill and bake.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe to others. There are better mushroom tart recipes out there.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I had trouble getting the crust to brown properly. I think I may have needed to bake the tarts for a little longer.

These tarts were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of cheese. I found the mozzarella to be a little too bland.
