Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Shallots
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 50 grams Cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the mushrooms, garlic, and shallots.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Sauté the garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper, and remove the skillet from the heat. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes and then mix in the cream cheese until well combined.

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 6 equal squares.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the cooled mushroom mixture in the center of each square. Fold one corner of the square to the opposite corner to create a triangular shape, and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each puff with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.

Step 10

Allow the mushroom puffs to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
