Mushroom Puffer Ingredients

• 1 Puffy pastry dough
• 500 g Mushrooms, chopped
• ½ Onion, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 Egg yolk, beaten (optional)

How to Make the Best Mushroom Puffer

1. In a pan, add the olive oil and onion. Cook it for a minute. Add the mushrooms and the minced garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Once it is done, turn off the stove and add the parsley.
2. Open the puff pastry and cut the dough into rectangles or around 5 cm per 5 cm (2 inches).
3. Fill the dough with a small spoon of the mushroom filling in the middle.
4. Close the dough with a fork.
5. If you want the mushrooms puffers to be very golden after baking, use a brush to put the egg yolk on top of the closed mushroom pastry (I skipped this step).
6. Bake it in 350°F (180°C) for around 15 minutes or until golden.

Recipe Tips

1. To make the mushrooms puffs a bit more golden, brush beaten egg yolk at the top.
2. Adding garlic also make it really tasty.
3. Make it creamier by adding some cream cheese (vegan).
4. Serve it together with some tomato and onion salad.
