Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking pans by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll your thawed puff pastry sheets onto the prepared baking pans, leaving space between each piece. Poke holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add the sliced mushrooms, herbs, spices, and white wine. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in goat cheese, Parmesan, and parsley until melted and well combined.
  5. Spoon the filling onto each puff pastry square, leaving a small border. Pinch edges for a decorative shape.
  6. Brush the edges of each tart with the whisked egg for a golden finish, avoiding getting egg wash on the filling.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
