Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms
• 1 Shallot
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into hamburger patties.

Step 2

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 2 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Finely chop the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic, then sauté them in the skillet over medium heat until soft and any liquid has evaporated (about 8 minutes). Stir in the thyme and set the mixture aside to cool completely.

Step 4

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into two equal pieces, yielding four total squares.

Step 5

Brush each hamburger patty lightly with Dijon mustard, then top with the cooled mushroom mixture (duxelles), spreading it evenly over the surface of each patty.

Step 6

Place a patty in the center of a puff pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the patty, ensuring it is completely sealed. Pinch the seams together tightly. Repeat for the remaining patties.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the surface of each pastry-wrapped hamburger with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Place the assembled Wellingtons seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a knife to lightly score a decorative pattern on the top of each pastry, being careful not to cut through.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Let the Hamburger Wellingtons rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
