Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini and shiitake), chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping & Pastry

  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pot pies to a golden finish.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped mushrooms until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic in the last minute of cooking to release its aroma without burning.
  3. Prepare Filling: Stir in the heavy cream and vegetable broth to the mushrooms, then add fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly and flavors meld.
  4. Prepare Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into squares sized to fit your ramekins or mini pie dishes.
  5. Assemble Pot Pies: Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly into the ramekins. Top each with a generous layer of grated Gruyère cheese. Cover with the cut puff pastry squares, pressing edges lightly to seal.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled pot pies in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the rich, savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms for a complex earthy flavor.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed for easy handling and optimal puffing during baking.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth for a different depth of flavor if you are not vegetarian.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free puff pastry and verify all other ingredients comply.
  • These pot pies can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving to save time.
