Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart

This Leek, Mushroom and Goat Cheese Tart is perfect for Gatherings. Savory and Sweet Tarts are one of my favorite things to make and this mushroom puff pastry tart is delicious. The variety and creativity are endless.

The idea is to sauté a few (or just one) vegetables and fold them into a goat cheese and crème fraîche mixture to create a spread. After you make the cheese mixtures, simply spread it over puff pastry or flatbread and bake for 15 minutes, take out of the oven and add the topping and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

1/2 cup of chicken stock (or mushroom stock)
2 teaspoons of salt
1/3 cup or 80 grams of crème fraîche
3 oz or 90 grams of goat cheese
