1 Cut duck breast into thimble-sized pieces. Soak bread with cream.
2 Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and chopped garlic and sauté until softened. Add duck, cook for 2–3 minutes; add muscat and deglaze for a few minutes. Add nuts, bread and cream and mix. Cool. Blend to a rough paste in a food processor.
3 Meanwhile, heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat, add mushrooms and finely sliced garlic and sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
4 Preheat oven to 200C/gas 6. Roll out the flaky pastry into a 30cm circle, cover it with the processed paste and top with the mushrooms. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove tart from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, slice and serve immediately.
