Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt. Spread in a single layer, and roast 10 minutes. Toss in the scallions, and roast 15 minutes more. Push mushrooms and scallions to one side, and place spinach on empty side; roast until wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool briefly; squeeze spinach dry.
• Lightly brush an 11-by-7-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom (or a 10-inch round pan) with oil. Working with one piece of phyllo at a time and keeping the rest covered with plastic wrap, brush a sheet of the pastry very lightly with oil. Fit into tart pan, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Brush a second sheet with oil, and fit into pan. Repeat with remaining sheets. Fold edges at top to make a border.
• Crumple a double layer of foil into a rectangle the size of the bottom of the tart, and fit into crust to weigh down center. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until edges are golden and begin to set, about 7 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until golden all over, about 3 minutes more. (Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.) Remove tart pan from oven.
• Reduce oven to 375 degrees. In a blender, puree goat cheese, eggs, and milk until smooth; season with salt. Add herbs, and pulse to combine. Spread vegetables over crust, and pour custard over top.
• Return tart pan to oven, and bake until custard is set, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove tart pan from oven, and let cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove sides of pan, and let tart cool at least 10 minutes more. If not serving right away, slide tart off bottom of pan and directly onto rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can't fit all the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 100°C.
• In a food processor place flour, butter and salt and process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
• Add water and continue to process until dough forms a ball.
• Turn off processor and remove dough.
• Cut dough into 4 pieces, cling wrap and refrigerate for ½ an hour - 1 hour.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and place on lightly floured work surface using a rolling pin roll each ball to 0.5 cm thick.
• Grease individual tart tins with a little butter and line tins with pastry.
• Place grease proof paper over pastry and weigh the paper down with beans or rice.
• Place tart tins on a sheet tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove the weights (i.e. beans or rice) and paper and cook for further 10-15 minutes.
• Place a medium sized sauté pan over a medium to high heat and drizzle a little olive oil and add shallots and mushrooms and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
• Add spinach and continue to sauté for further 1-2 minutes.
• Once spinach has wilted and mushrooms are soft remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Divide spinach, mushrooms, and cheese between the tarts.
• In a separate bowl combine eggs and cream and whisk gently with a fork.
• Pour over egg and cream mixture (be careful not to overfill) and return tray to oven.

• When removing tarts from oven allow to cool for 5 minutes before unmolding.
• Cut into quarters and arrange on a serving dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place the pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score the dough to form a 1-inch border. Using a fork, prick the dough inside the border every 1/2 inch. Bake until golden, rotating the pan once, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, toss the onion with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt. Cover and cook over medium heat until the onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir. Continue cooking with the cover on for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the mushrooms; cover and cook until tender and all liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Fold in the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Drain any liquid.
• Top the dough with the mushroom-spinach mixture. Scatter the onions and goat cheese on top. Bake until the cheese is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
