Flaky puff pastry filled with a savory mushroom and herb mixture, perfect as elegant appetizers, brunch treats, or party snacks that combine rich flavors with a crisp, golden crust.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8–10 pastries

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cream or cream cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon thyme or parsley

Finishing

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for baking the pastries.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms, cooking until they become soft and fragrant. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and thyme or parsley for enhanced flavor.
  3. Add Cream: Stir in the cream or cream cheese to the mushroom mixture, combining well. Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool completely to avoid soggy pastry.
  4. Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into even squares about 3×3 inches each.
  5. Fill Pastries: Place a spoonful of the cooled mushroom filling onto the center of each pastry square.
  6. Seal Edges: Fold each pastry square over the filling to form triangles or rectangles, pressing and crimping the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
  7. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush the tops of the sealed pastries with the egg wash to ensure a beautiful golden and shiny finish after baking.
  8. Bake: Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm as delightful appetizers or snacks.

Notes

  • These pastries can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking for convenient meal prep.
  • Use fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the mushroom filling is completely cooled before filling the pastry to keep the dough crisp.
  • For a vegan option, substitute butter and cream with plant-based alternatives and use a flax egg for egg wash.
