I found this recipe while working at a small-town museum in West Texas. It was the appetizer for a fundraiser a long, long time ago, and it’s still a huge hit at parties. Frozen puff pastry helps make it easy and impressive. The palmiers also freeze well. —Judy Lock, Panhandle, Texas

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until tender. Stir in thyme, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce and salt. Cool completely.
  2. Unfold 1 pastry sheet. Spread half of the mushroom mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up the left and right sides toward the center, jelly-roll style, until rolls meet in the middle. Cut into 24 slices. Repeat with remaining pastry and mushrooms.
  3. Place on greased baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk egg and water; brush over pastries. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
