Mushrooms are available all year round so they’re an excellent choice for Christmas dinner. Paired with puff pastry, they create tarts that are flavorsome and an ideal size for an entree.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large yellow onion sliced thinly
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms chopped finely
- 1 clove garlic chopped finely
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan or Cotija cheese grated
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 2 tsp parsley chopped finely
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat butter in a large skillet on medium-low heat and then add the onion and cook for about 20 minutes until caramelized.
- Add mushrooms and cook for another 15 minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cream cheese and grated cheese and continue cooking until the cheese is completely melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unroll the pastry into two rectangles and then press the seams together so that they are sealed.
