Rustic Mushroom Tart image

Don't let phyllo dough's fussy reputation put you off: our method of brushing olive oil and sprinkling breadcrumbs between the layers makes this tart actually quite simple to assemble, and helps keep it healthy. It can be served as a main course or cut into smaller pieces and enjoyed as an appetizer. Thaw frozen phyllo in its package at room temperature for 2 hours or in refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. EatingWell Magazine, June 2007. Always remembering to keep it covered with a damp cloth towel.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup soft fresh goat cheese (2 ounces)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
fresh ground pepper
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups mixed wild mushrooms, coarsely chopped (we used button mushrooms, personal preference)
1 large leek, white part only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced and thoroughly washed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white wine
thawed phyllo dough (10 sheets 14x18-inch or 20 sheets 9x14-inch phyllo dough)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Combine ricotta, goat cheese, rosemary and peppers in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms, leek and salt and cook, stirring, until the leek starts to soften and the mushrooms release their juices, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in wine and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes & set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Line a large baking sheet (approximately 12 by 17 inches) with parchment paper.
  • Lay one large sheet of phyllo on the prepared pan. (If using the smaller size, slightly overlap two sheets to form a rectangle.)
  • Keep the remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap or wax paper and a damp kitchen towel.
  • Lightly coat the phyllo with oil using a pastry brush.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon breadcrumbs.
  • Repeat this step, layering the remaining phyllo on top.
  • Carefully roll about 3/4 inch of each side toward the center to form the outer rim of the tart.
  • Spread the reserved cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo.
  • Top with the reserved mushroom mixture.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is brown and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • To serve, lift the parchment paper and slide the tart onto a cutting board or large platter & serve warm.
  • Also serve a salad of baby greens, carrots, and radishes with a vinaigrette -- warm bread, lathered with butter & a nice fruity wine!

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes.

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I needed to bake it for a few minutes longer.

This tart was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

This tart was amazing! I made it for my family and they all raved about it. The crust was flaky and buttery, the mushrooms were savory and flavorful, and the goat cheese added a creamy richness. Highly recommend!

Easy to follow recipe and the tart turned out delicious! I used a store-bought crust to save time and it still came out great.
