What you'll need...

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 250g chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
  • Handful of thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • Egg, for brushing
  • Butter, for the muffin tray
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
  • 100g grated gruyere cheese, for sprinkling

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas 7. 

  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for roughly 7 minutes or until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar and seasoning, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are brown. 

  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for a few minutes or until fragrant. Turn off the heat and stir in ¾ of the thyme, saving some for sprinkling. Chill the mushroom mix until needed. 

  1. Make the tartlet base by unfolding the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll to create a larger surface area without rolling the pastry too thin. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles that fit the muffin tray. Once the pastry has been cut, grease the muffin tray with a light spread of butter. Press the pastry into the muffin tray, brush the edges of the pastry with the egg, and prick the centres of the pastries with a fork. 

  2. Divide the mushroom mixture between the tartlets and sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Remove and allow them to cool on a wire rack before sprinkling over any remaining herbs before serving.
