Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 whole Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean and finely chop the mushrooms. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Stir frequently.

Step 6

Add the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, mix the cooled mushroom mixture with the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses.

Step 9

Spoon a generous tablespoon of the mushroom-cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 10

Fold the pastry squares into triangles by bringing one corner over to the opposite corner. Press the edges firmly to seal and crimp with a fork.

Step 11

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it lightly over the tops of the puffs for a golden finish.

Step 12

Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.

Step 13

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

Step 14

Let the cheesy mushroom puffs cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
