Ingredients

Scale

500 grams Puff Pastry
1 tbsp Oil
200 grams Mushrooms
1 tbsp Butter
1/2 tsp Garlic (minced)
2 tsp Flour
1/2 cup Milk
2 tbsp Parsley (chopped)

Preheat the oven to 170 degree celsius.
Thaw and roll out the puff pastry and cut circles as shown above in the blog post.
Brush some egg yolk and transfer the puffs to the oven and bake for 35 minutes until they are nicely puffed up and golden brown.
Once baked, transfer them to the kitchen counter and let cool for around 15 minutes.
While the puffs are in the oven, prepare the mushroom sauce.

        Hey Bonnie, so you basically cut two circles - the bigger circle is the base, then you make rings out of the small circle and use only the outer ring which is placed on the bigger circle - so when they puff up, you can add the mushroom filling within. If you have more questions, do reach out to me 🙂 Hope you enjoy the recipe.

I made this today for a card party. I step 9 it says add garlic but that should read add flour. I used frozen puff pastry shells. I made one and a half times the filling to make sure I had enough to fill the store bought shells. For the milk amount I used half milk and half wine. The girls at the card group will love these!

This recipe looks really good. I love mushrooms! I think in step 9 you meant to stir in Flour instead of garlic again.
