Mushrooms In Puff Pastry image

This is a really easy recipe that looks and tastes like it took hours to make. It calls for wild mushrooms, but you can use any or a mixture of whatever is in season. If you can't find the pastry squares, you may use the round ones that have the removeable tops.

1/2 lb mixed mushroom (oyster, Chanterelle, shitake...)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots, chopped
salt
fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup cognac or 1/4 cup brandy
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh chives, tarragon or 1 tablespoon basil
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 package frozen puff pastry (6 squares)

Steps:

  • Saute mushrooms and shallots in oil until soft.

  • Add cognac or brandy and reduce slightly; add cream and boil until cream thickens slightly.
  • Stir in butter, herbs,and lemon juice.
  • Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Bake the puff-pastry rounds or squares according to package directions.
  • Split baked shells in half and divide the mushroom mixture between the bottom halves of the shells.

  • Optional: I like to add a little grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese after adding the mushroom mixture to the shells and baking just enough to melt the cheese.
