Best 6 Upside Down Mushroom Tartlets Recipes

MUSHROOM TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft and golden. Stir in the brown sugar and salt and add the mushrooms. Cook together the mushrooms are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook together until fragrant, about 1-2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into an 18x9-inch rectangle. Cut into 18 (3-inch) squares or circles as I show. Press the pastry squares into 18 muffin-pan cups. Brush the edges of the pastries with the egg. Prick the centers of the pastries with a fork.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the onion and mushroom mixture into each square. Top with about ½ tablespoon of the cheese. Makes 24 - 36.
• Bake the tartlets until they're golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. Remove the pastries from the muffin-pans and cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired.

CARAMELISED MUSHROOM TARTLETS

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.
