  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought)
  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini and button), chopped
  • 2 medium leeks, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add leeks and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes). Incorporate the mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms are golden brown.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Mix the sautéed vegetables with cream cheese, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface; cut one piece to fit your baking tray. Pour the mushroom-leek mixture onto the pastry base, then cover with another layer of pastry. Seal edges by crimping them together.
  5. Brush the top layer with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Allow cooling slightly before slicing into wedges and serving warm.
