To begin with, you should get puff pastry sheets, which are available in most grocery stores. They come frozen and need to be thawed before using them. Simply leave the sheets overnight in the refrigerator or on the countertop for a few hours.
Next, sauté some chopped s in a skillet with butter until they are tender and golden brown. You can add some chopped garlic, shallots, and herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mixture for added flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mushroom mixture to cool down completely.
Now, it’s time to assemble the pastry. Roll out the pastry sheet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut them into 3-inch squares, and spoon a little of the mushroom mixture on the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to make a triangle or rectangle shape, and seal the edges by pressing them down with a fork.
Brush each pastry with an egg wash, and sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top for a golden and crispy finish. Bake the pastries in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are puffy and lightly browned.
Once done, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool a bit. This is important because the filling can be very hot, and you wouldn’t want your guests to burn their mouths on the first bite. Serve the mushroom puff pastry warm, garnished with some chopped parsley or chives.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add other ingredients to the mushroom filling, such as cooked bacon or ham, chopped spinach, or grated cheese. You can experiment with different flavor combinations and create your own unique version of this pastry.
