This tart is as simple as can be and almost any vegetables can be used. That’s what I love about tarts and pies, they are so versatile. In this case, I made a potato, mushroom, caramelized onions with brie topping, but you could use any cheese or even a combination of different kinds of cheeses.
Serve with a green salad on the side and enjoy it!
Ingredients
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
4 oz brie cheese, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
1 beaten egg

1. In a medium non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato slices in a single layer, add the cumin, paprika, thyme and parsley and fry about 4 minutes on each side or until tender.
2. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a plate lined with paper towel and set aside. Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes or until caramelized.

6. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Lovely! I love how the toppings sink into the puff pastry as it bakes, forming its own ‘bowl’. Versatility is wonderful in a dish like this because it means we can enjoy it all year with whatever vegetables are currently in season. As for cheese, there are so many different ones to try; my husband would probably vote for blues while I love goat cheeses.
This cheesy mushroom tarts with caramelized onions sounds fabulous.
Wonderful pie. In Greece pies called pites were meant to be made with anything available a simple dough to make phyllo and a filling.
Great flavor combinations!

I love all the ingredients you used. Yum!
I’ve made them with tomato, basil, artichoke and ricotta cheese.
I love that you used the brie on this tart. Isn’t brie the best? I love that stuff!
I am a sucker for any kind of tart, and I love the combination of flavors you’ve got in this one. Looks terrific.
A flavourful combination! The tart looks too delicious
Delicious combo for your tart, Erica! I love it and am copying the recipe in a minute.
It’s such fun to experiment with puff pastry, isn’t it? I made a galette with wild mushrooms and stilton for my son the other night…with puff pastry instead of the regular pastry called for. It was sheer heaven.
Thank you so much guys!

Lovely Erica.
That looks wonderful–like it would be a quick and easy way to enjoy a decadent meal, perhaps with a simple green salad and a crisp, fruity glass of wine!
I agree, tarts are great to make because of their versatility. The flavors in this one sound delicious!
