Trim fennel of green top and root end, reserving fronds and quarter bulb from top to bottom. Using a mandoline or very sharp knife, cut fennel and leeks into paper-thin slices. Clean and slice mushrooms. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; add fennel and leeks and saut\u00c3\u00a9 until just tender but not brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Heat remaining teaspoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat; add mushrooms and saut\u00c3\u00a9 until they release all their liquid and most of it boils away, about 5 minutes. Combine fennel mixture with mushrooms and saut\u00c3\u00a9 together briefly; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Unfold puff pastry onto lightly floured surface or Silpat; cut in half lengthwise to form two long rectangles. Gently roll out each rectangle to approximately 5 by 14 inches and place on cookie sheet (or cut into two circles, if desired). Trim edges by 1\/4 inch strips all around; set strips aside. Break one egg into a small bowl; beat slightly. Brush edges of pastry with some egg. Use trimmed strips to make a raised border on each. (Or, fold pastry edges over to form a rim.) Brush entire surface with remaining beaten egg. Prick interior of pastry all over with a fork. Bake until pale gold, about 10 minutes. If pastry has puffed up inside edge, press it down gently. Set aside. Meanwhile, combine remaining eggs with 6 ounces of goat cheese and blend until smooth. Spread onto pastry. Return to oven and bake just until set, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven and spread with mushroom-leek mixture. Crumble remaining cheese on top. Just before serving, broil tarts for a few minutes, until cheese softens and starts to brown. Garnish with fennel fronds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 small bulb fennel 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and rinsed carefully 16 medium cremini or white mushrooms (about 1 pound) 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil Salt and pepper 1 4-ounce package puff pastry (like Dufour), defrosted according to package directions 3 eggs 8 ounces goat cheese \u00c2\u00a0 Heat oven to 400 degrees.
