Description
Delightful, savory pastries filled with earthy mushrooms and rich Gruyère cheese, perfect for cozy dinners and elegant gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms (such as cremini or button), diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced mushrooms, cooking until browned and moisture is released, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional minute.
- Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the broth, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add heavy cream, shredded Gruyère, and Dijon mustard. Stir until melted and combined. Remove from heat.
- Roll out thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut circles larger than your ramekins.
- Place pastry into ramekins and fill with the mushroom mixture, leaving a little space at the top.
- Cover with another pastry circle, seal edges, and cut slits for steam.
- Brush with beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Consider adding cooked chicken or sautéed spinach for extra flavor. Keep an eye on pastries while baking; they brown quickly.
