This cheesy savory mushroom puff pastry tart makes a stunning appetizer that’s super easy to make. The mushrooms are flavored with onion, garlic and marjoram and are baked on a layer of white cheddar cheese. A little bit of sour cream adds a subtle tanginess that balances the rich cheese and pastry perfectly.

Mushroom puff pastry tart preparation in four steps.

Step 1. Set a puff pastry sheet out to thaw at room temperature. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and cut each cap into 4 to 6 chunks.

Step 2. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Saute diced onion in olive oil until starting to soften. Stir in garlic. Add the mushroom chunks and cook, uncovered, until they have released their liquid and the liquid has evaporated.

Step 3. Stir in marjoram, salt and pepper, then stir in sour cream.

Step 4. Roll the puff pastry sheet into a 10″ by 13″ rectangle and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Top with cheese, then spoon the mushrooms on top of the cheese. Bake until golden-brown.

Frequently asked questions:

How should I serve the tart?

Cut the hot tart into 6 slices using either a serrated knife or a pizza wheel and serve hot.

Can I store leftovers and reheat the tart?

Yes, this tart reheats very well. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven at 400 degrees F.

Equipment:

  • knife and cutting board

  • measuring spoons
  • cheese grater
  • kitchen scale
  • pan (I like to use cast iron)

  • parchment paper or baking mat
  • serrated knife or pizza wheel

Ingredients:
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 1 pound mushrooms*
  • 2 tablespoons mild olive oil
  • ¼ cup minced white onion (you need about ⅓ of a small onion for that)
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic press
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried marjoram
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons full-fat sour cream
  • 6 ounces grated medium white cheddar cheese

Instructions:
 

  • Set the sheet of puff pastry out to thaw at room temperature (this will take about 40 minutes). Once you have 20 minutes of thaw time left, prepare the mushrooms: Remove the stems, then cut each cap into 4 to 6 small pieces. Set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan until shimmering.
  • Add the onion to the hot oil and saute until starting to soften (2 to 3 minutes).
  • Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant (~1 minute).
  • Add the mushroom chunks and cook, uncovered, until they have given off their liquid and the liquid is cooked off (about 10 minutes).
  • Stir in marjoram, salt and pepper and cook for a minute, then turn off the heat.
  • Stir in the sour cream, then set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll the puff pastry sheet into a 10" by 13" rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Evenly distribute the cheese onto the pastry, then spoon the mushrooms on top.
  • Bake until the tart is golden-brown around the edges (20 to 25 minutes). Serve hot.

Notes:

*I recommend to use cremini mushrooms for this recipe.
