Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add diced onion and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until browned and moisture evaporates (about 8 minutes).
  4. Season with thyme, salt, pepper, and optionally apple vinegar. Cook until liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Gruyère until creamy.
  6. Incorporate one beaten egg into the mixture to bind it together.
  7. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface; cut diagonal strips along each long side but leave the center intact.
  8. Spread filling down the center of the pastry; fold ends up and braid the strips over the filling.
  9. Transfer to the baking tray; brush with remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
  10. Bake for 20–22 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
