Instructions:

  7. Spread the mushroom and onion mixture evenly over the puff pastry.
  8. Sprinkle the Gruyere and Parmesan cheese on top of the mixture.
  9. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Additional Tips:

  • You can customize this tart by adding other ingredients like cooked bacon or spinach.
  • For a vegan version, you can substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
  • This tart is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven.

By following these simple steps, you can create a delicious mushroom and onion tart that is perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer for a dinner party. Enjoy!
