1
Mix well goat cheese, ricotta, rosemary and pepper in a medium bowl.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Line a large baking sheet (approximately 12 by 17 inches) with parchment paper.

Lay one large sheet of phyllo on the prepared pan.

(If using the smaller size, slightly overlap two sheets to form a rectangle.)
11
Keep the remaining phyllo covered with wax paper or plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel.
12
Lightly brush oil on the phyllo sheet evenly with a pastry brush.
13
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon breadcrumbs.

Repeat the same step, and go on layering the remaining phyllo on top.

Carefully roll about 3/4 inch of each side toward the center to form the outer rim of the tart.
16
Spread the reserved cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo.
17
Top with the reserved mushroom mixture evenly.

Bake the tart until the crust is crispy and brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

20
Lift the parchment paper and slide the tart onto a cutting board or large platter.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
