Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms (baby bella or cremini) Substitute with white button mushrooms if desired.
  • 5 ounces Spinach Ensure it's well-drained to avoid sogginess.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Can be swapped with vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Cheese (Mozzarella, Cheddar, or Goat Cheese) Try vegan cheese alternatives for a dairy-free option.
Pastry
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Gluten-free versions are available.
Flavoring
  • 1 medium Onion Diced.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • pastry brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a small amount of butter or oil. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in chopped mushrooms, cooking for around 5-7 minutes until softened and moisture is released.
  4. Fold in fresh spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Combine the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture with cream cheese and chosen cheese in a mixing bowl, stirring until cohesive.
  6. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 24 squares.
  7. Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square, leaving room around edges for sealing.
  8. Fold each pastry over the filling and press edges together, crimping with a fork to seal.
  9. Whisk an egg to create an egg wash and coat the tops of each pastry with it.
  10. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  11. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
