Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt the butter over high heat and add the mushrooms, shallots, and thyme.

Cook for about 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Add the sherry and cook another few minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool.

Sprinkle a smooth work surface with flour and roll one sheet of puff pastry out into a rectangle, about 9″x12″.

Cut into 12 squares.

Put 1 tablespoon of the duxelles and 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each square.

Moisten the edges with water and pull up the corners of the pastry to make a little packet.

Put them on the parchment-lined sheet and bake 20-25 minutes.

Repeat with the other sheet of pastry and the remaining filling.

Cool 10 minutes before serving.
