Mushroom Palmiers

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + cooling Bake: 15 min./batch YIELD: 4 dozen.
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
