1 thawed puff pastry sheet
03 -
1 beaten egg for brushing
→ Mushroom Mixture
04 -
A couple handfuls (2 cups) chopped mushrooms
05 -
2 finely chopped garlic cloves
06 -
2 minced shallots

Herbed goat cheese (4 ounces)
08 -

# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper while it heats up.
02 -
Melt butter alongside olive oil in a pan. Soften up your shallots in the mixture (takes 2-3 minutes). Toss in garlic, stirring for a quick minute. Stir in mushrooms, letting them cook until any liquid disappears and they’re soft (5-7 minutes). Sprinkle salt and pepper and let it cool off.
03 -
Spread some flour on your work surface and roll out the thawed pastry sheet until it’s thinner. Slice it into whatever shapes you like best, rectangles or squares work fine.
04 -
Scoop your cooled mushroom filling onto pieces of pastry. Break up the goat cheese and scatter it over the top.
05 -
Turn the edges of the dough over gently, giving it a rustic look. Paint the tops of the pastry with the egg to ensure they come out beautifully golden.
06 -
Bake them for 20-25 minutes until flaky, puffed up, and golden. Keep an eye on them!
07 -
Dust the fresh thyme leaves on top once they’re out of the oven. Let them cool a few minutes before enjoying.
