To make these tasty pastries, you’ll need a few key ingredients, including:
– 1 package of puff pastry sheets
– 1 lb. of , sliced
– 1 large onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp. of butter
– 1/4 cup of flour
– 1 cup of milk
– 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, lay out your puff pastry sheets and cut them into squares or rectangles of your desired size. You can use a knife or a pizza cutter for this step.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the mushrooms, onion, and garlic until they are tender and lightly browned. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well, then slowly add the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until it is melted and well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the center of each pastry square or rectangle, leaving a little bit of space around the edges. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the filling, pinching the corners together to create a seal.
Place the pastry pockets onto your prepared baking sheet and brush them with a beaten egg or a little bit of milk. This will give them a beautiful golden brown color and a nice, glossy finish.
Bake the pastries for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown on top. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These mushroom puff pastries are perfect for any occasion, from cocktail parties and holiday gatherings to casual dinners with friends. They’re easy to make ahead of time and can be reheated in the oven or microwave, making them a great choice for busy weeknights too.
