Broccoli Mushroom Pastries
A savory filling of broccoli, mushrooms and cheese enclosed in puff pastry and baked
Equipment
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 box 2 sheets, frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
- 4 oz sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar I used Kraft Creamy Melt Triple Cheddar
- 1/2 cup grated white cheddar
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves plus more for garnish
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- salt & pepper
- 1 egg beaten
- Everything Bagel Seasoning Trader Joe's
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet with olive oil, over medium high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes then push them to the perimeter of the pan
- Add mushrooms to the center of skillet and cook for 3-3 minutes. Once mushrooms are golden on that side turn them over and brown the other side. Turn heat to low
- Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring
- Season vegetables with thyme, salt and pepper.
- Add cream cheese and grated cheddar, reserving white cheddar for topping later
- Remove skillet from heat and set aside for cheeses to melt as you prepare the pastry
- Place pastry sheets on a large piece of parchment paper and gently roll out with a rolling pin to stretch a little and smooth. Cut each sheet into 9 squares. You will have 18 squares in all.
- Stir filling to blend melted cheeses and divide among 9 squares, placing filling in the center, away from the edges
- Beat egg and using a pastry brush, brush the pastry edges with egg wash
- Enclose pastry filling with remaining 9 squares of pastry, pushing edges together to seal and then crimp edges with a fork
- Brush tops of pastry with egg wash. Cut a small slit in the top of each pastry with the tip of a sharp knife and sprinkle with white cheddar and Everything Bagel Seasoning
- Transfer parchment sheet of pastries to a large baking pan
- Bake pastries at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes until golden
Notes
I used frozen broccoli to save time, but I recommend using fresh broccoli florets and roasting* them for even better flavor
*to roast florets, put them on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the edges just begin to char. Chop and continue with the recipe
