Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large cremini or button mushrooms
• 100 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 50 grams Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 1 piece Egg (beaten)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove the stems to create space for stuffing.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Spoon the cheese mixture into each mushroom cap until slightly mounded.

Step 5

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth and even out the edges. Cut it into 12 equal squares.

Step 6

Place each stuffed mushroom in the center of a pastry square, cheese-side facing up.

Step 7

Gently fold the pastry edges upwards around the mushroom, pinching lightly to seal and hold the mushroom in place.

Step 8

Brush the outside of the pastry-wrapped mushrooms with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 9

Place the wrapped mushrooms on the prepared baking tray with enough space between them.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.

Step 11

Allow the mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme leaves, if desired, and enjoy!
