Ingredients:
- 1 cup of assorted mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the finely chopped mushrooms and thyme, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly before mixing in the softened cream cheese and grated Parmesan.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into squares, approximately 3 inches by 3 inches.
- Fill each square with a generous spoonful of the mushroom mixture, then fold the corners in to create a petite pocket. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the filled bouchees on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Enjoy these delectable Mushroom Bouchees as an exquisite treat that your family and friends will love. Perfect for any occasion, they bring a touch of elegance and delicious flavors to your table!
