\"Zutaten
\nMushroom tartlets ingredients<\/h2>\n

Puff pastry:<\/strong> flakey, buttery puff pastry makes everything taste a little more tasty. It\u2019s universally appealing which makes it a great choice for a savoury appetiser.<\/p>\n

Shallots:<\/strong> adding caramelised onions to any dish adds flavour.<\/p>\n

Mushrooms:<\/strong> a mix of mushrooms adds complexity in flavour. King trumpet, shiitake, cremini, oyster or pioppino (Samthauben) are all great choices. Choose your favourite.<\/p>\n

Chestnuts:<\/strong> cooked chestnuts give the tartlets a sweet and nutty taste. They go well with earthy mushrooms. Peeled and cooked chestnuts can be found in 100 g or 200 g packages at your local organic food store.<\/p>\n

Cheese:<\/strong> two types of cheese are used in this tartlet recipe. Cream cheese as it is subtle tasting and creamy. And Roquefort for it\u2019s distinctive flavour. Ricotta can be used in place of cream cheese and your other favourite type of blue cheese for Roquefort. I recommend stilton or an sweet gorgonzola dolce or aged gorgonzola piccante.<\/p>\n

Seasonings:<\/strong> salt, pepper, nutmeg and thyme for a little extra woodsy aroma. Plus a little acacia honey to round out the flavours of the cheese and earthy mushrooms.<\/p>\n

White wine:<\/strong> adds acidity, which also helps to balance the flavours. If needed it can be skipped. Simply add a little squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a tiny dash of apple cider or white wine vinegar.<\/p>\n

What to serve with mushrooms tartlets<\/h2>\n

I love to serve these puff pastry tarts with a side salad as a light lunch, however you could also serve them for Christmas or another festive occasion as an appetiser. Alternatively, try serving this dish as a side with a hearty main course such as roast chicken or grilled steak and a vegetable side.<\/p>\n
