Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed in the fridge)
• 200 g (2 cups) Gruyere cheese, grated
• 400 g (14 oz or 4 cups) mushrooms (mixed, porcini, or your choice), sliced
• 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter

Cooking Instructions

Preheat Oven:

Preheat to 200°C (400°F).

Cook Mushrooms:

In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and thyme; sauté 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove thyme sprigs if using fresh.

Prepare Pastry:

Roll out puff pastry to fit a 25x35 cm (10x14 inch) baking tray. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Score a 1 cm (½ inch) border; prick the center with a fork.

Add Cheese:

Sprinkle all the Gruyere cheese evenly over the center of the pastry.

Add Mushrooms:

Spread the sautéed mushrooms over the cheese.

Egg Wash:

Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden finish.
