recipe courtesy of\u00a0<\/em>SideChef<\/strong><\/h3>\nIngredients<\/b>
\nServings: 4-6
\nFlour to dust work surface
\n1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
\nEgg wash (mix one small egg with 1\/2 teaspoon water) or milk or cream
\n8 ounces cremini mushrooms
\n8 ounces shiitake mushrooms
\n2\u00a0tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
\n2 ounces pancetta (or bacon)
\n2-3 tablespoons butter, divided
\n1 shallot, diced
\n2 cloves garlic, minced
\n4 roasted red peppers, finely chopped
\n3\/4 cup Madeira Wine
\n1\/4 cup beef broth
\n1\/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
\n1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
\n3 long slices white cheese<\/p>\n
*You will need thin slices of white cheese to decorate your tart. Cut thin slices from the long edge of an 8 ounce\u00a0block of cheese then cut\u00a0them into the desired shapes. If you use cheese slices, you\u2019ll need rectangle slices.<\/p>\n
Directions<\/b>
\n1. Lightly dust a cutting board with flour. Unfold thawed sheet of puff pastry. Use a rolling pin to roll the pastry dough out into a 12 inch x 14 inch rectangle.
\n2. Use\u00a0a pizza wheel or knife to cut\u00a0out a football shape in the center of the dough being sure to leave 1\/4\u2033 of dough on either side. Cut 1\/4\u2033\u00a0wide strip\u00a0from each side of the dough. Use a rolling pin to gently roll the strips to increase their length (they need to be long\u00a0enough\u00a0to reach from one end of the football to the other).
\n3. Brush egg wash, milk, or cream all along the edge of\u00a0the football. Lay one strip on either side of the football dough. Cut off excess dough. Place football dough on a\u00a0parchment paper. Brush egg wash over the surface of the football. Use a fork to\u00a0prick\u00a0holes all over the dough not including the border. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. If you’re going to bake your\u00a0football as soon as your filling is ready, heat\u00a0oven to 400 F.
\n4. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove stems from Shiitake mushrooms. Slice and set aside.
\n5. Take a 12 inch skillet and heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium high heat. Chop pancetta into small pieces and sprinkle in\u00a0hot pan. Cook, stirring often, until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove crispy pancetta from skillet. Drain it on a\u00a0piece of paper towel. Set aside. In the same hot pan add shallots and saut\u00e9 until translucent. Add garlic and saut\u00e9\u00a0for about 30 seconds. Add finely chopped roasted red peppers and cook just until all the liquid evaporates. Pour\u00a0mixture into a bowl and set aside.
\n6. In the same hot skillet add a little over a teaspoon of oil and a pat of butter. As soon as the butter melt, add 3\u00a0ounces sliced mushrooms (about 1\/5 of your total.) Once these mushrooms are brown, remove\u00a0from pan. Add more oil and butter to the pan and repeat the process until all the mushroom are browned.
\n7. Return mushrooms, pancetta, and roasted red pepper mixture to the skillet. Pour in wine, beef broth, and balsamic\u00a0vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove all the brown bits and bring to a boil over medium high heat.\u00a0Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the moisture evaporates. Remove\u00a0from the heat, and add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Stir to combine. At this point you can either make your tart or refrigerate your mushrooms until ready to use.
\n8. To complete the tart, bake the pastry for 15 minutes until it is golden brown. Spoon the\u00a0mushrooms over the center of the tart. Bake for an additional 8 minutes if the mushrooms are warm, and up to 15\u00a0minutes if they are cold.
\n9. Cut slices of cheese to make the laces and stripes on the football. Set on the hot tart to melt the cheese slightly.\u00a0Serve hot.<\/p>\n
