Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the cremini mushrooms. Aim for small, uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.
Stir in the nutritional yeast and fresh parsley into the mushroom mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout.
Unroll and carefully separate the phyllo sheets. Place one sheet on a clean surface and lightly brush with the remaining olive oil. Top with another sheet and repeat until you have 5 layered sheets.
Cut the layered phyllo into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place a tablespoon of the mushroom mixture in the center of each square. Gather the corners of each square towards the center, pinching them gently to create a small pouch or bundle.
Arrange the mushroom bites on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo pastry is golden and crisp.
Allow the mushroom bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
