# Ingredients:
→ Shells
01 -
All-purpose flour for rolling out
02 -
1 beaten egg (for a shiny finish)
03 -
1 puff pastry sheet, defrosted
→ Stuffing
04 -
A pinch of fresh thyme for topping
05 -
Salt and pepper to your liking
06 -
1 tablespoon of butter
07 -
1 tablespoon of olive oil
08 -
4 ounces goat cheese with herbs
09 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped small
10 -
2 shallots, diced finely
11 -
2 cups of finely diced mushrooms
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and give a baking tray a quick lining with parchment.
02 -
Heat butter and olive oil in a pan, slide in the shallots and soften them for a couple of minutes. Next, stir in the garlic for another minute, then add those mushrooms. Cook everything until the liquid's gone and they’re soft (about 5-7 minutes), then season and let it cool off.
03 -
Sprinkle some flour on your counter, roll out the puff pastry sheet, and slice it into squares or rectangles—your call.
04 -
On each pastry square, scoop on some of the mushroom mixture, then crumble the goat cheese on top.
05 -
Tuck the edges of the pastry over to create rustic shapes. Paint on that egg wash for a golden glow.
06 -
Slide the pastries into the oven and bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until they puff up and go golden.
07 -
Scatter some thyme leaves on top, let the pastries cool just a bit, and then dig in.
