Mini Mushroom and Goat Cheese Tarts

Ingredients

• 1/2 sheet puff pastry
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking tray.

Lay puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 squares. Prick the squares in several places with a fork. Place the puff pastry squares on prepared baking sheet.

Bake the puff pastry squares for 7 minutes. Remove tray from the oven, flatten the squares using the backside of a spatula. Return puff pastry to the oven to bake until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Cook and stir the mushrooms and garlic in the butter until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Top the baked puff pastry squares evenly with the mushroom mixture. Crumble goat cheese over mushrooms and sprinkle with parsley.
