Mushroom and Gruyere Puff Pastry Pockets
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) of puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 pound of mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups of Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mushroom mixture cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry. Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into 12 equal squares.
- Place a spoonful of the mushroom mixture onto one half of each puff pastry square, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle the Gruyere cheese over the mushroom mixture.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the other half of the puff pastry over the filling to create a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Transfer the filled puff pastry pockets to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let the puff pastry pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
