Ingredients

• 1 sheet (thawed if frozen) Puff pastry
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 250 grams Fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or a mix)
• 1 medium (finely diced) Shallot
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 30 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 large (beaten, for egg wash) Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and finely chop them.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt.

Step 4

Add the diced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 7

Stir in the thyme leaves, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to smooth it out. Cut it into 4 equal squares.

Step 9

Spoon a generous portion of the mushroom mixture into the center of each pastry square.

Step 10

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together, then press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and decoration.

Step 11

Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown finish.

Step 12

Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
