Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry white apple vinegar (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, divided
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until browned and moisture evaporates—about 8 minutes.
  4. Add thyme leaves, salt, pepper, and apple vinegar (if using); cook until the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Incorporate cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard (if desired); mix until creamy.
  6. Add one beaten egg to the mixture; combine thoroughly.
  7. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface; cut diagonal strips along the sides while keeping the center intact.
  8. Spread mushroom filling down the center; braid the strips over the filling.
  9. Transfer to baking tray, brush with remaining beaten egg, and bake for 20–22 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving warm.
