Ingredients

  • 4-1/2 teaspoons butter
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme, salt and pepper.
  2. Unfold puff pastry. Spread mushroom mixture to within 1 in. of edges. Sprinkle with cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. In a small bowl, whisk egg and water; brush over pastry. Cut slits in top.
  3. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
