# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

07 - Spread herbed goat cheese evenly within the scored border of each pastry piece.
08 - Spoon sautéed mushroom and shallot mixture evenly over the goat cheese.
09 - Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
10 - Remove tarts from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal flavor, select fresh mushrooms and allow filling to cool before assembling to maintain a crisp pastry base.
