Halloween tarts with mushrooms and herbed cream cheese
Materials
- 1 rectangular sheet of puff pastry
- 150g of cheese with garlic and herbs
- 6 mushrooms (minimum)
- Cut circles out of the puff pastry using a cookie cutter, a glass, or a small bowl.
- Pierce the center of each circle with a fork.
- Spread the center of each piece with approximately one teaspoon of garlic and herb cheese (or your preferred spreadable cheese).
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or a kitchen brush and cut them in half. Using a straw, gently pierce the eyes, or draw them with the tip of a knife. Trace the mouth with a knife or a toothpick.
- Vary the expressions on the "faces" so that not all the tarts are the same.
- Place the decorated mushrooms on the tartlets.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 18 minutes, adjusting the time if necessary.
- And that's it!

How can I make my Halloween tarts look more terrifying?
Put a teaspoon of tomato sauce under the mushrooms before baking: you'll get a "bloody" effect that fits perfectly with the Halloween theme.
What cheese can I use if I don't have garlic and herb cheese?
You can substitute it with Philadelphia-style cream cheese, soft goat cheese, or a natural fresh cheese mixed with chopped herbs such as chives or parsley.
Can I prepare the tarts before Halloween?
Yes. You can assemble them and store them in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap, and bake them just before serving. You can also cook them in advance and reheat them for a few minutes in the oven.
How can I vary the filling of the tartlets?
Try adding chopped ham, bacon, caramelized onions, or your favorite herbs. Change up the filling depending on what you have at home: they always turn out great.
What to serve with savory mushroom tarts?
They go very well with a light green salad or pumpkin soup. It's a simple and very autumnal combination, perfect for a Halloween-themed dinner.
