Ingredients

PUFF PASTRY

2 sheets puff pastry

SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS

1 1/2 lbs mushrooms, shiitake, brown button any type work
2 leeks, white parts only, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbs butter, unsalted
14 cup sherry
1/2 tsp fish sauce, or 1 small anchovy, rinsed, mashed Vietnamese or Thai type (anchovy base)
1 tsp Sel Magique Black Truffle
1/8 tsp black pepper, ground

WHIPPED MASCARPONE SAUCE

4 oz mascarpone cheese, room temp
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 cloves roasted garlic, smashed
2 tbs grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbs blue cheese, crumbled
2 tbs honey
1/2 tsp Sel Magique Classic Blend

Instructions

PASTRY & ROASTED GARLIC

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees f
Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature according to the package instructions, set aside.
On an oiled cookie sheet, put 5 cloves of garlic in center and roast till golden brown, 35-40 minutes.

MUSHROOMS & LEEKS

While the garlic is roasting, cut the white parts off the bottom of the leeks. Slice into pieces and place in a strainer. Make sure to rinse them well in cool water. Leeks tend to be sandy.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until leeks have softened and are starting to brown. Add the mushrooms. You may have to do this in batches if they don't all fit in the pan. Add what will fit, then wait for them to cook down and add the rest.
Stir mushrooms to mix in the leeks. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until mushrooms have released their liquid and the liquid has evaporated. Add the sherry and stir until it has evaporated.
Add the fish sauce, Magique and pepper and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

WHIPPED MASCARPONE SAUCE

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. If mixture gets too thick, warm in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

BUILD THE TART

Lay the puff pastry sheets on two parchment paper lined baking sheets. Place half the mascarpone sauce mixture on each and spread, leaving 1" on the sides.
Cover the cheese mixture with the sauteed mushrooms, leaving 1" on the side. Fold up the edges and pinch the corners together.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until puff pastry is golden brown.Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice into pieces. Serve & Enjoy!
