Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup fresh cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese (grated)
- 1 medium sweet onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown, around 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in grated Gruyère cheese and herbs until well combined.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut slits on both sides for braiding.
- Spoon the mushroom mixture down the center of the pastry. Fold dough strips in an alternating crisscross pattern over the filling and seal edges.
