Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Remove thawed puff pastry squares and place them on baking sheets, poking holes in the center.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then sauté shallots and garlic until translucent.
  4. Add chopped mushrooms and salt, sautéing until softened and browned.
  5. Pour in white wine and let it simmer, scraping the bottom, to enhance flavors.
  6. Turn off heat, stir in goat cheese, parsley, and Parmesan until melted into a creamy filling.
  7. Scoop filling onto each puff pastry square, leaving a small border, and pinch edges to design.
  8. Whisk egg to create an egg wash, then apply it over pastry edges.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tarts are golden brown and flaky.
