Ingredients
-
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

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

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

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

Add garlic and mushrooms; cook 8–10 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates.
-
Stir in thyme and flour. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Slowly add vegetable broth while stirring to smooth out lumps.
-
Add heavy cream, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes until thickened.
-
Season with salt and pepper.
-
Spoon mushroom mixture into ramekins and top with shredded Gruyère.
-
Cover each with puff pastry, sealing edges gently.

Brush with beaten egg.
-
Bake 15–20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
-
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.
