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)
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, divided
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until soft (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until browned (approximately 8 minutes).
  4. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. If using apple vinegar, add it now and let the mixture absorb any liquid.
  5. Stir in cream cheese and Parmesan until creamy; fold in the Gruyère cheese.
  6. Unroll puff pastry on a floured surface; cut diagonal strips along the edges while leaving the center intact for filling.
  7. Spread the mushroom mixture down the center. Fold strips over the filling to create a braid.
  8. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish and bake for 20–22 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving warm.
