Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions until pliable but still cold.
Finely dice the shallot and garlic. Clean and finely chop the cremini mushrooms.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool completely.
Grate the Parmesan cheese and stir it into the cooled mushroom mixture.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about 1-2 mm thick, if necessary.
Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one of the long edges, gently roll the pastry towards the center. Repeat with the opposite edge, meeting the two rolls in the middle to create a palmier shape.
Transfer the rolled pastry to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled roll into 1 cm thick pieces and place them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
Whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the palmiers lightly with the egg wash.
Bake the palmiers in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Mushroom Palmiers!
