- Olive Oil - cooking olive oil is fine. You could also use vegetable oil.
- Onion - you could use shallots instead.
- White Mushrooms - I just use ordinary white mushrooms but any kind will work.

- Goats Cheese - although I use grated hard goats cheese most other kinds of grated hard cheese will work as well but you might not get the same flavours.

I do love puff pastry! It's such an easy and versatile ingredient for the kitchen. One of the first recipes I ever made for Laura was a puff pastry tart with asparagus. This version sounds fantastic with the goat cheese + 'shrooms. I'll have to give it a try!
Neil
We always have a block of puff pastry in the kitchen so we can make something easy in the evening after work like this. I like the sound of a puff pastry tart with asparagus too. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks David!
