While there is a dressing recipe with this dish, and it is really great, we usually just use a bottled dressing such as Girard's Champagne Vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 tbs. olive oil
10 oz. assorted mushrooms (such as button, cremini shitake, and oyster), sliced
1 shallot, sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 oz. Gruyere or sharp white Cheddar, grated (1 cup)


Side Salad:
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
4 oz. mixed greens (6 cups)
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1 tbs. chopped fresh chives

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 400 F. Unfold the pastry and cut it into 4 squares. Place the squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet and using a fork, prick the dough all over.

2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and shallot and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine, deglaze the pan and cook until nearly evaporated, about 1 minute more.

3. Dividing evenly, sprinkle the pastry squares with half the cheese, leaving a 1/2 inch border on each. Top with the mushroom mixture and remaining cheese. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the greens and the radishes and toss to coat. Serve the tarts with the salad and sprinkle with the chives.
