Puff pastry crust with caramelized mushrooms and onions which create six pockets that each hold an egg sprinkled with fresh green parsley, red pepper flakes and white shredded parmesan cheese

Mushroom, Onion & Egg Tart

Caramelized mushrooms and onions on puff pastry coated with melted fontina cheese topped with perfectly cooked eggs

This is an extremely versatile dish that can be served as breakfast, at brunch and even as a great dinner!

The first thing we need to do is take a sheet of puff pastry out of the freezer

Let this thaw for around 30 minutes

20191212_181045

While the puff pastry thaws we will start prepping the other ingredients

First we will need 3.5 ounces of shiitake mushrooms

20191212_172541

Remove the stems and discard

Slice the caps thinly

20191212_172638

Next we will need 10 ounces of baby bella mushrooms

Using a dry paper towel gently brush off any dirt from the mushrooms

20191212_173144

These we will slice stems and all

20191212_173357

We will also need 1 onion peeled, halved and sliced thinly

20191212_173542

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add in the onions

Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper

20191212_174716

Cook the onions stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until they start to lightly brown and caramelize

20191212_175051

Next add in all of the mushrooms

20191212_175119

Cook 6-8 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender

Remove from the heat and set aside

20191212_175955

Preheat your oven to 375 F

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper sprayed with cooking oil

20191212_181416

At this point we should be ready to work with the puff pastry

Sprinkle your counter with some flour and lay out the pastry

20191212_181605

Roll it out to roughly the shape and size of the sheet pan

20191212_181752

Fold the pastry over the rolling pin and transfer to the sheet pan

20191212_181816

Using the tip of a knife score a line around the pastry around an an inch or so from the outside edge

20191212_182306

Repeat until you essentially form a frame around the pastry

20191212_182345

Next use a fork to gently poke holes inside the “frame”

20191212_182402

Why poke holes in the puff pastry before I bake it?

These holes will act like a vent that will keep the center from puffing up while allowing the outer edge to puff and form a crust

20191212_182627

Place in the oven and bake for around 10 minutes until lightly browned and starting to puff up

20191212_183825

Next we will need 5 ounces of shredded cheese

We used fontina

20191212_180407

Sprinkle the cheese over the center area of the pastry

20191212_183917.jpg

Place back in the oven and bake 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts

20191212_184442

Drop the heat of the oven to 350 F

Next, using a spoon start adding the mushroom and onion mixture to the pastry

We made a frame around the outside, then a line across the center then two lines from top to bottom forming pockets that will help hold the eggs in place

20191212_184837

Next we will need 6 eggs

20191212_180530

We find it easier to crack the egg into a cup and then gently pour it into the pockets

20191212_184944

Start adding the eggs one at a time

20191212_185024

Repeat with the rest of the eggs

20191212_185214

Place back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny

While that bakes we will need 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (optional), 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese for serving

20191212_181020

Remove the tart from the oven, sprinkle with the parsley, parmesan, red pepper flakes and a pinch of kosher salt

Serve immediately
