Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and finely chop them.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt.
Add the diced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Stir in the thyme leaves, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to smooth it out. Cut it into 4 equal squares.
Spoon a generous portion of the mushroom mixture into the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together, then press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and decoration.
Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown finish.
Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
