Ingredients
Scale
- For the Tartlets:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 250g (2 cups) button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 100g (1 cup) crumbled feta cheese
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- For the Balsamic Glaze:
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Using a round cutter (or a glass), cut out circles of pastry and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Score a smaller circle inside each round without cutting through completely to create a border. Prick the center with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 2: Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Step 3: Add Spinach and Rosemary
- Stir in the fresh rosemary and cook for another minute.
- Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the Tartlets
- Place about a tablespoon of the mushroom-spinach mixture in the center of each pastry circle.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 5: Bake the Tartlets
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- While the tartlets are baking, prepare the balsamic glaze.
Step 6: Make the Balsamic Glaze
- In a small saucepan, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until it reduces by half and thickens.
- Stir in honey for a touch of sweetness, if desired.
Step 7: Drizzle and Serve
- Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle with the balsamic glaze before serving.
