Ingredients
  

For the Puff Pastry
  • 1 package Puff Pastry Thawed if frozen
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms Finely chopped; cremini or button
  • 2 medium Shallots Finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 8 ounces Goat Cheese Softened
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs Chopped thyme, rosemary, or parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For sautéing
  • To taste Salt and Pepper Essential for flavor enhancement

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick, cut into 3-4 inch squares or circles, and place them on the baking sheet.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil for about 1 minute, then add shallots and sauté until translucent (3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic and finely chopped mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with softened goat cheese and chopped herbs, using a fork to mix until well blended.
  5. Spoon a generous portion of the filling into each pastry square, leaving a border around the edges. Prick the base with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure shallots and mushrooms are sautéed just until tender to avoid a soggy filling. Use cold puff pastry for optimal puffing, and always taste your filling before assembling to enhance flavors.
