Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Place the puff pastry sheet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Using a knife, gently score a border around the pastry edges, about 1 inch from the edge. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and all the liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth, then spread it evenly inside the scored border on the puff pastry.
Distribute the cooked mushroom mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese layer within the scored border.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms.
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk to make an egg wash. Brush this mixture around the border of the pastry to help it achieve a golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed up.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
