Description
Savory individual pot pies filled with a creamy mushroom and Gruyère cheese mixture, topped with flaky puff pastry and fresh thyme.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 oz mixed mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry and cut into rounds to fit the tops of four 8-ounce ramekins.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Gradually add vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in Gruyère cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the ramekins.
- Place a puff pastry round over each ramekin, pressing edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg. Cut a small slit in the top of each pastry for steam to escape.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pastry is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
