  1. Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Place 1 pastry sheet on each prepared tray. Cut 8 x 3cm-wide strips from remaining pastry sheet. Place 1 strip along 1 edge of pastry square on each tray. Repeat with remaining strips, overlapping at the corners, to form a border. Using a sharp knife, score pastry squares along inside of the borders. Lightly score pastry centres at 1cm intervals.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. If pastry puffs up in centre, gently push down with a folded tea towel. Set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushroom and oregano. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until mushroom is coated in butter. Add garlic. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Cover pan. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until mushroom has softened. Remove lid. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until liquid has almost evaporated. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Whisk eggs, cream and mint in a jug. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/2 the mushroom mixture into the centre of 1 pastry square. Pour over 1/2 the egg mixture. Top with 1/2 the fetta. Repeat with remaining pastry square, mushroom mixture, egg mixture and fetta.
  6. Reduce oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Bake tarts for 20 minutes or until filling is set and cheese is golden. Stand for 5 minutes. Serve with rocket and extra mint leaves.
