15 min

Easy

A savory mushroom tarte Tatin that the whole family will love! This straightforward recipe highlights autumn flavors and works equally well as a starter or a light main course paired with a green salad.

Ingredients

Serves 4

– Puff pastry: 1 sheet
– Button mushrooms: 500 g
– Shallots: 2
– Balsamic vinegar: 2 tablespoons
– Honey: 1 tablespoon
– Butter: 20 g
– Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
– Dried thyme: 1 teaspoon
– Salt: a pinch
– Pepper: a pinch

Preparation

Total time: 50 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 35 min

1. Prepare the mushrooms
Clean the mushrooms and slice them into fairly thick pieces. Peel and finely slice the shallots. Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

2. Brown the mushrooms
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Add the shallots and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for around 8–10 minutes, until they’re nicely browned and most of their liquid has evaporated.

3. Caramelize with balsamic
Stir in the honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and the thyme if using. Cook for 2–3 minutes over medium heat so the mushrooms become coated in a glossy, slightly syrupy glaze.

4. Assemble the tart
Spread the mushrooms and shallots evenly in a lightly buttered tart pan, arranging them attractively on the base. Unroll the puff pastry over the top and tuck the edges down inside the pan. Prick the pastry lightly with a fork.

5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F), until the pastry is puffed and golden. If the mushrooms have released a lot of juice, drain the excess before topping with the pastry.

Unmold and serve
Let the tart rest for 3–5 minutes after it comes out of the oven. Place a large plate over the pan and carefully invert the whole thing. Lift off the pan gently and serve the tarte Tatin while still warm, ideally with a simple green salad.
