Description

Delicate shredded pastry threads baked into a perfect golden nest, filled with a savory mixture of seasoned vegetables and herbs.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 package (about 1 lb) frozen shredded pastry dough, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, then stir in spinach until wilted. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan cheese.
  4. Divide the shredded pastry dough into 6 portions. Press each portion into the muffin cups to form nest shapes.
  5. Spoon the vegetable filling into each pastry nest. Brush the edges with beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and crispy. Let cool slightly before serving.
