Recipe tips

Make the mushrooms the day before hosting. Sautéed, with everything, added; they’ll keep well in the fridge, and on the day of your event, all you’ll have to do is spread them out over the puff pastry and bake.

I use these rolled puff pastry sheets.

Servings 4 as an appetizer

Ingredients

  

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 454 grams cremini or white button mushrooms two 227 gram containers — washed and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• a few good pinches of kosher salt
• freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 small clove of garlic minced
• fresh thyme leaves a small bunch for garnishing
• 1 egg beaten to wash the puff pastry
• 1 square puff pastry sheet thawed and rolled out

Instructions

 

• Thaw puff pastry sheet according to directions on the package (2 hours at room temperature).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• When the puff pastry is nearly ready to roll out, prep the mushrooms (wash and slice), and add oil and butter to a stovetop pan over medium high heat.
• Add sliced mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally until they begin to crisp and brown—five to 10 minutes. If the mushrooms begin to burn, reduce the heat slightly. *The pan must be hot for the mushrooms to crisp up and for the water they’ll release to evaporate.*
• At this point, add in minced garlic, kosher salt, pepper and continue cooking.
• Once the majority of the mushrooms are crisp and brown, stir in shredded parmesan and mix well.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll out puff pastry onto a baking sheet.
• Spoon mushrooms over the pastry evenly, leaving a little less than an inch border.
• Using a pastry brush, gently wash the pastry border with the beaten egg.
• Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is raised and golden.
• Garnish with fresh thyme leaves as you like (a teaspoon or two is perfect).
• Using a pizza cutter, slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
