Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry white apple vinegar (optional)

  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Sauté onion until soft (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until browned (about 8 minutes). Season with thyme, salt, pepper, and apple vinegar if using.
