Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange pastry squares on baking pans and poke several holes in each with a fork to prevent excessive rising.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Add mushrooms, sage, thyme, and rosemary, cooking for 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes until liquid reduces.

Remove skillet from heat. Stir in goat cheese, parmesan cheese, and parsley until melted and thoroughly combined into a creamy filling.

Spoon the mushroom-cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Fold or crimp the edges as desired to create a border. Brush exposed pastry with beaten egg wash.

Place tarts in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Use frozen pre-cut pastry squares for convenience.

Thaw pastry overnight in refrigerator for best results.
