Swiss mushroom, olive & semi-dried tomato tart FAQ:
Bake the tart in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 20-25 minutes. The pastry should be golden brown and puffed up when done.
Store leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispness before serving.
Yes, you can substitute puff pastry with shortcrust pastry, but keep in mind that the texture and flakiness will be different.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated and avoid opening the oven door frequently. If the tart still doesn't puff, check if the pastry was rolled out too thinly.
Yes, you can use fresh mushrooms. Just slice them thinly and sauté them briefly to reduce moisture before adding to the tart layers.
Tips:
- Ensure your puff pastry is thawed before handling to avoid cracking.
- For more pronounced flavors, allow the semi-dried tomatoes to soak in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the tart.
- Pre-cook the mushrooms slightly to release excess moisture and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the puff pastry to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil or parsley on top before serving.
