- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees C.
- Roll out the pastry about to about 5mm thick and line 4 tartlet tins (about 10cm)
- Chill the pastry in the fridge for about half an hour.
- Then cover each one with greaseproof paper and weigh them down well with some baking beans. Cook for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, in a little olive oil, fry the onion until it's soft. Add the garlic, mushrooms and wine; turn up the heat. Fry for a few more minutes until they're looking golden, then leave the mixture to cool a little.
- Lightly whisk the cream with the eggs and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir in the crumbled stilton and the mushroom mixture.
- Pour into the pastry cases, leave a little space so they don't overflow while they cook and put them in the oven for 15-20 mins until they're golden on top and solid.
- Serve warm.
