Description
Delightful puff squares filled with a rich mixture of sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and fresh thyme, all enveloped in buttery puff pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), cleaned and sliced
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and moisture is released, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme, stir in cream cheese until melted.
- Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 3×3 inch squares.
- Assemble the squares: Spoon filling into the center of each square, fold corners, and crimp edges to seal.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) on a parchment-lined sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Serve slightly cooled. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Avoid overfilling to ensure proper sealing. An egg wash will enhance color and appearance.
