Recipe video above. This is a simple mushroom tart that I used to make for my family back in France. Called "Tarte Fine aux Champignons" in French, buttery puff pastry is topped with melted Gruyère, sautéed mushrooms and baked until crispy and golden. It's simple but delicious as a light meal with a fresh salad on the side.You'll probably be surprised by the volume of mushrooms once sliced but it will reduce significantly as it cooks and bakes to an even layer on the puff.

Hot tray - Place a baking tray in the oven. Turn the oven on and preheat to 210°C / 410°F (190°C fan).
Cook the mushrooms - Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft. Transfer mushrooms to a colander over a bowl to drain in case of excess liquid.
Prepare the base - Place a sheet of baking paper / parchment paper on the bench. Put the puff pastry on top. Fold the edges inwards to create a 1 cm / 0.4″ border and brush them with melted butter.
Assemble - Spread the grated Gruyère evenly over the pastry. Top with the mushrooms, spreading them evenly too.
Bake - Lift the baking paper and tart onto the hot tray in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp (sides and underneath).
Finish and serve - Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and salt flakes. Drizzle with truffle oil or a good virgin olive oil (optional but highly recommended). Cut and serve hot.
