Top tips for making Balsamic Mushroom Tarts:
- Keep the puff pastry cool. This is what allows the puff pastry to bake into crispy, flaky layers. If the layers of fat between the dough get too warm it will melt before it has time to release air creating the layers.
- Let the mushroom mixture cool. Adding a warm mushroom mixture can affect the temperature of the puff pastry and affect the rise. If making these for breakfast we recommend making the mushroom mixture the night before and storing in the fridge until your ready to make the tarts.
- Bake until a deep golden brown. For the best flaky texture bake the tarts until the bottom is a deep golden brown and their is a nice rich colour on top.
Ingredient notes:
- Mushrooms – Any mushrooms can be used in this recipe. In the past we’ve used cremini, white, oyster, shitake, or just a collection of mixed mushrooms.
- Puff Pastry – Look for a strough-bought puff pastry that is vegan friendly. Ingredients to look out for our dairy; specifically butter, as well as any animal-based lard.
- Vegan Feta – Pick your favourite brand; we’ve made this recipe with Daiya and Nafsika’s Garden.
