Mushroom Tarte Tatin
Who says a Tarte Tatin is just for apples? Let’s flip the script (or rather, the pan) and create a savory masterpiece with mushrooms! This Mushroom Tarte Tatin is a comforting, hearty dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in. It’s also surprisingly easy to make. Let’s get started!
1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, or your favorite)
Prepare the Mushroom Filling
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Slice your mushrooms into various sizes for a nice texture.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
5. Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook until all the liquid has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Deglaze the pan with white wine, letting it simmer until reduced by half.
Assemble the Tarte Tatin
1. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a size slightly larger than your skillet.
2. In your skillet (still over medium heat), sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the bottom.
3. Pour the mushroom mixture into the skillet, arranging it evenly.
4. Drape the puff pastry over the mushrooms, tucking the edges into the pan.
5. Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake the Tarte Tatin
1. Place the skillet on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
3. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting the tarte tatin onto a serving plate. The caramelized mushrooms will be on top.
Serve your Mushroom Tarte Tatin warm with a side salad or a dollop of crème fraîche. It’s also delicious with a glass of red wine.
For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the mushroom mixture.
Enjoy your Homemade Mushroom Tarte Tatin! It’s a delicious and impressive dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
