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.

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.
