Glazed mushroom and shallot puff pastry tart
by Jonathan TovellThe Chestnut mushroom has a pronounced nutty flavour. This recipe originally called for cremini mushrooms, but the Chestnut (Pholiota adiposa) mushroom brings a slight flavour upgrade. Why not try the Chestnuts for a fancy meal?

Ingredients
- 2 cups Chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- About 7 ounces puff pastry dough, cut into 2 rectangles
- 5 ounces gruyere, jarlsberg or emmenthaler cheese, grated
- 3 shallots, cut into rings
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp dark brown sugar
- 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
Lay puff pastry dough rectangles on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle both rectangles with a generous layer of cheese, leaving a crust-like border around the outside of the pastry with no cheese.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms, shallot rings, garlic, dark brown sugar, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Stirring often, let the mushroom mixture cook and soften for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms shrink to about half their original size and the shallots begin to caramelize. Turn off the burner and stir in thyme removed from 2-3 sprigs.
Use a slotted spoon to add the mushroom mixture to the top of each pastry, leaving a border around the outside of each pastry uncovered.
After all the mushroom is used, sprinkle the top of each pastry with more cheese and a bit more thyme.
Optional: Crimp the edges of the pastries with a fork.
Bake for 21-26 minutes until the pastries are golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before enjoying.
