Pastry Dough

Filling

Method

Prepare Pastry Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare Filling

  1. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add maitake and shiitake mushrooms, cooking until softened. Pour in sherry and let it reduce for about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped tarragon and remove from heat.

  2. 3

    Make the Custard

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs and a pinch of salt until smooth. Gradually add the sautéed mushroom mixture and black mushroom oil, mixing well.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 4

    Fill the Pastry

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough and cut into rounds to fit your muffin tin. Place the dough into the muffin cups and fill with the mushroom custard mixture.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set. Let cool slightly before serving.
