Combining the rich, earthy flavors of mushrooms with the flaky, buttery texture of a pastry, this recipe for mushroom puff pastry is a total crowd-pleaser. Not only is the savory filling delicious, but the pastry itself is golden, crisp and visually appealing, making this the ideal addition to your next dinner party<\/a>.<\/p>\n Made to be enjoyed as an appetizer, they’re also delightful as a snack or packed alongside leftovers for a hearty mid-day meal. Bonus: they freeze particularly well, making it possible to keep these on hand when you want to impress guests on the fly.<\/p>\n First, preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Then, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add chopped fresh mushrooms and onions and cook and stir until tender, or about three to five minutes. Add garlic and pepper; cook for an additional minute. Stir in cream cheese until melted and combined; remove from heat.<\/p>\n Unfold one pastry sheet and cut it into nine squares. Next, cut each square diagonally in half. Place a teaspoon or so of the filling on one side of each triangle, being sure not to get too close to the edges.<\/p>\n Then, brush the edges of the non-filled side with water; fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Seal edges with a fork; place about an inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with the second pastry sheet and the remainder of the filling.<\/p>\n Bake until the pastries are golden brown, or about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.<\/p>\n Once cooled, store any leftover mushroom pastry puffs in an airtight container<\/a> in the fridge. They’ll last this way for three to four days.<\/p>\n Yes. To freeze pastries, cover and freeze unbaked triangles on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm. Then transfer the frozen pastries into a freezer-safe, airtight container; return it to the freezer. To use, bake as directed.<\/p>\n You can use a variety of mushrooms<\/a> for mushroom puff pastry appetizers. Cremini or button mushrooms are mild and versatile, making them the most popular option for this recipe. Other favorites include shiitake or portobello mushrooms, but these both have a stronger flavor and texture, so they’ll make for a heartier filling.<\/p>\n If you forage for your own mushrooms, chanterelles<\/a> or morels are excellent mushrooms to include here, and this makes for an ideal recipe to keep in your foraged-food repertoire.<\/p>\n Yes, you can certainly serve these little savory mushroom pastry bites with a dipping sauce. Your best bets include garlic aioli<\/a> or tzatziki<\/a> to balance the earthy flavors of the mushrooms beautifully.<\/p>\n If you’ve decided on mushroom puff pastries as a tasty finger food or app, round out your meal with a crispy, fresh green Caesar salad<\/a> and a hearty, warming tomato soup<\/a>. Top it all off with a blueberry pie<\/a> for dessert\u2014your guests won’t know what hit their taste buds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These mushroom puff pastry bites make the perfect finger food.
