Do you like mushrooms and puff pastry, well this is the appetizer for you. My friend made these for me and I absolutely loved them. You can use any mixture of mushrooms that you prefer, or go with just one type. I personally prefer wild and cremini. Use a good quality wine and parmesan cheese, when the dish is ready it will have a nicer flavor. Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, 10 x 10 inch thawed, and rolled out 1/8-inch thickness |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
4 tablespoons butter |
4 cups mixed mushrooms, whole (mixture, your choice) |
3/4 cup onion, sweet, coarsly chopped |
1 shallot, small, french, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, cayenne |
1/2 teaspoon salt, sea |
1/4 cup white wine, good quality |
1/4 cup creme fraiche or 1/4 cup sour cream |
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated, good quality |
2 teaspoons thyme, fresh, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Lay pastry on a lightly floured surface and trim to form square.
3. Cut the pastry into 36 squares and place on baking sheet, then brush lightly with egg.
4. Bake until golden 10 - 12 minutes and remove from oven, let cool.
5. Lower the heat to 350.
6. Heat the butter in a pan over med - high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions and shallots.
7. Season with the sea salt and cayenne pepper and cook until mushrooms brown - 10 minutes.
8. Add the wine and cook until it has all been absorbed.
9. Put the mushrooms mixture, creme fraiche, cheese and herb in a food processor or mixer and pulse 2 - 3 times, just until the mixture is combined, you don't want to puree it.
10. To assemble cut each puff-pastry square in half crosswise and fill with 1/2 tsp mushroom filling.
11. Then bake for 5 minutes.
12. This is best served warm.
