🍄 Mushroom Pots (Puff Pastry Appetizer)
Ingredients
Butter – 2 to 3 tbsp
Onion – 1½ cups, finely chopped
Garlic – 2 cloves, finely chopped
Mushrooms – 3 cups, chopped
Salt – ½ tsp
Black pepper – 1 tsp
Thyme – ½ tsp
(or oregano – ¼ tsp)
Whipping cream – ¼ cup
Parsley – ⅓ cup, chopped
(substitute coriander if needed)
Puff pastry sheets – 2 sheets
Egg – 1, beaten (for egg wash)
(or milk as substitute)
Kitchen twine – as needed
Method
Heat a pan and melt the butter.
Add onions and sauté for 1–2 minutes until softened.

Stir in whipping cream and mix well.
Add parsley, turn off heat, and allow the mixture to cool completely.
Shaping & Baking
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares (18 total).
Roll cooled mushroom mixture into 11 small balls.
Place each ball on a pastry square, lift sides, twist the top, and gently flatten.
Tie kitchen twine around the neck of each “pot.”
Brush with beaten egg (or milk).
Lightly poke holes on top with a fork to prevent over-puffing.
Bake at 375°F (180°C) for 40 minutes.
Cool slightly, carefully remove twine, and serve warm.
