  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add mushrooms and garlic; cook until mushrooms are golden and moisture evaporates (5-7 minutes).
  3. In a bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with half of the shredded Gruyère cheese; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface; cut slits along both sides for braiding.
  5. Place the mushroom-cheese mixture in the center of the pastry and fold over slits alternately to braid.
  6. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle remaining Gruyère on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
