Ingredients

Scale

1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
2 cups fresh button or cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the chopped mushrooms until golden brown and moisture is released, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute of cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed mushrooms, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy yet chunky.
Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick; cut into squares or circles.
Place a spoonful of the mushroom-cheese mixture on each pastry piece. Fold and seal tightly.
Brush with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
