Crust

  • 1 sheet Store-bought puff pastry, thawed Time-saver.
  • 1 egg For egg wash (optional) Gives a golden color.
  • 1 tablespoon Water, for egg wash (optional) Mixed with egg.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes until it’s pliable but still cold.
  • Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic.
  • Slice the mushrooms into approximately 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Grate the Gruyere cheese and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare mini ramekins or a muffin tin.

Cooking

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter.
  • Once shimmering, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
  • Push the mushrooms to one side, add butter to the empty side, and stir in the diced onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  • Incorporate minced garlic and thyme leaves, sautéing for an additional minute and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  • Gradually pour in the broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • Stir in heavy cream and simmer for another 1-2 minutes until rich and creamy.
  • Remove from heat and add the grated Gruyere cheese, stirring until melted.
  • Unroll the puff pastry onto a floured surface and use a round cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
  • Spoon the warm filling into the ramekins or muffin cups.
  • Place a puff pastry round over each filled ramekin and press gently to seal.
  • Optional: Whisk the egg with water for an egg wash and brush the tops of the puff pastry.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and filling bubbles.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
