Mushroom Tart with Gruyere Cheese and Arugula

An easy and delicious Mushroom Tart is perfect for Springtime lunches, brunches or even a quick and easy dinner.

Mushroom Tart with Gruyere Cheese and Arugula
Topping a buttery puff pastry sheet with gruyere cheese and mushrooms brings together this dish ever so effortlessly.

This Mushroom Tart is a simple dish that is sure to bring the flavour for any meal, any time!

Mushroom Tart with Gruyere Cheese and Arugula
It’s so hard to say when to enjoy this Mushroom Tart because it is so versatile. The flavours are some of my favourite for the Spring season, especially mushrooms.

Mushroom Tart with Gruyere Cheese and Arugula
First the mushrooms are sautéed in butter, garlic and thyme. Then roll out the puff pastry dough and bake it with one layer of gruyere cheese.

Mushroom Tart with Gruyere Cheese and Arugula
Gruyere is one of my favourite cheeses to use for savoury dishes like this Mushroom Tart or in quiche recipes too. It’s a creamy, nutty cheese that’s a little bit salty and I find it complements other flavours really well, especially the mushrooms in this tart.

The tart is topped with the cooked mushrooms, a bit more gruyere cheese and then baked to golden perfection!

Ingredients

For the Mushrooms:

  • 10 oz assorted mushrooms (white, brown, cremini and/or shiitake mushrooms), sliced about 2 1/2 - 3 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

For the Tart:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry dough, thawed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere cheese can substitute with swiss cheese
  • 2-3 cups arugula for serving

Instructions

  1. **Important: thaw puff pastry according to package directions**

  2. Pre-heat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Role out the puff pastry dough into a 10 inch by 12 inch rectangle (approximately). Make a half-inch border around the tart by rolling/pinching the sides of the dough. Using a fork, make dots throughout the middle of the tart and then set aside.

  4. To make the mushrooms, melt 2 tbsp butter in a frying pan over medium heat.

  5. Once the butter is bubbling, add in the garlic and give it a quick stir. Then add in the sliced mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Add in thyme sprigs, salt and pepper to the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often and until the mushrooms are softened. Remove the thyme sprigs and then set mushrooms aside.

  7. Spread 1 cup of cheese onto the tart and bake for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven. (Note: the middle of the tart may start to puff up a bit so when removing the tart after 10 minutes, just use a fork to make a couple more dots in the tart to get the air out)

  8. Spread the mushrooms out evenly onto the baked cheese layer of the tart, then layer 1/2 cup remaining cheese on top of the mushrooms. Bake the tart for 12-15 more minutes until the crust is golden.

  9. Top with arugula and enjoy!

Topping this tart is arugula to bring a fresh bite of greens to round out all of the flavours.

This Mushroom Tart is best served hot out of the oven but honestly it’s also delicious at room temperature too for a picnic perhaps.  You could even cut this tart into smaller pieces as well and serve as an appetizer!

    This would be perfect to serve for brunch some time this summer! And I know this would be a winner in my house. My husband doesn’t like many vegetables, but he loves mushrooms and arugula. And the gruyere on top just seals the deal!

Save this ONE POT LEMON GARLIC PASTA for a quick a Save this ONE POT LEMON GARLIC PASTA for a quick and easy dinner! Packed with punchy lemon and garlic flavours, this recipe comes together so simply. PLUS you can add your favourite protein to top it if you’d like.

Here’s the recipe friends!

INGREDIENTS:
3 tbsp butter or olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
pinch chili flakes
400-450g dried pasta noodles (rigatoni, mezzi rigatoni, penne or ziti)
zest of one lemon
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter
Garnish: shredded parmesan cheese, more lemon zest and fresh basil 

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Once warmed, add garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes.
2. Next add salt, pepper, oregano and chili flakes (if using). 
3. Then, stir in pasta and add vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and once simmering, turn to medium-low to keep at a simmer. Cook 12-14 minutes, keeping the lid most of the way on the pot. Stir once and a while to make sure the noodles aren’t sticking to the bottom of the pot. 
4. Once noodles are cooked, there should be just a bit of liquid left, covering the bottom of the pot. If you find the noodles need a bit more time, add 1/2 cup more broth at a time and cook a bit longer until done. Stir in lemon juice, parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp butter until fully combined and you have a smooth sauce.
5. Top with shredded parmesan cheese, more lemon zest and fresh basil and enjoy!
