Description

These Mini Mushroom and Gruyère Pot Pies with Thyme are warm, flaky, and unbelievably comforting. Filled with creamy mushrooms, melted Gruyère, and fresh thyme, they bake into golden, individual-sized pot pies perfect for cozy dinners, entertaining, or fall and winter nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 3 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, button), sliced

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease six 6-oz ramekins.

  2. Roll out puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness and cut circles slightly larger than the ramekins.

  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes.

  4. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook 8–10 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates.

  5. Stir in thyme and flour. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

  6. Slowly add vegetable broth while stirring to smooth out lumps.

  7. Add heavy cream, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes until thickened.

  8. Season with salt and pepper.

  9. Spoon mushroom mixture into ramekins and top with shredded Gruyère.

  10. Cover each with puff pastry, sealing edges gently.

  11. Brush with beaten egg.

  12. Bake 15–20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

  13. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute chicken broth for a richer flavor.
Prep the filling ahead of time and assemble just before baking.
For extra depth, add a splash of white wine when sautéing mushrooms.
These freeze well unbaked — bake straight from the freezer with a few extra minutes.
