Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large portobello mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 pieces Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Lightly brush each mushroom cap with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown and most of the moisture has evaporated.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and breadcrumbs, mixing well. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases.

Step 7

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard in the center of each sheet of puff pastry.

Step 8

Place a portobello mushroom cap (gill side up) on top of the mustard and spoon the cooked mushroom filling into the cap. Carefully wrap the puff pastry around the mushroom, trimming off any excess pastry, and seal the edges by pressing with your fingers.

Step 9

Repeat the process with all mushrooms, then place the wrapped mushrooms seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the wrapped mushrooms with the beaten egg to create a golden crust during baking.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, gently score the tops of the pastry with a decorative pattern (optional).

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Portobello Wellington!
