Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams wild mushrooms (e.g., cremini, shiitake, or oyster), finely chopped
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a sauté pan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the finely chopped wild mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and are browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chopped walnuts to the pan and stir well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the softened cream cheese, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to smooth the edges. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the mushroom-walnut mixture in the center of each square.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry squares lightly with the egg wash.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each turnover with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
