Puff Pastry Tips

Puff Pastry is made up of layers of dough with butter between the layers. Always look for all-butter puff pastry, which tastes much better, and can be used for both sweet and savory recipes.

Always thaw puff pastry completely before using, and try to use it as soon as it's thawed. You don't want it to get too warm, because the butter will melt, causing the dough to be limp and difficult to work with.

Mushroom Pastry Appetizers

I love to have some all-butter puff pastry in the freezer. It's so versatile, and you can wrap just about anything, both savoury and sweet in it for a perfect appetizer. Almost everyone loves warm pastries, and I always notice that those disappear first at every gathering.

About Brie

Brie is a soft cow's milk cheese that originated in the Brie region of France. It has a creamy, buttery texture, and a bloomy white rind, which is edible. Unlike other cheeses, when brie is melted, it retains its structure. So It's the perfect cheese for puff pastry. Brie pairs well with almost everything, and it's a natural choice for mushrooms.

Which Mushroom Varieties To Use For Puff Pastry Appetizers

There are many varieties of mushrooms. And, although you can use them all interchangeably, some varieties are particularly suited to a dish. For these mushroom brie puff pastry appetizers, I'm using cremini mushrooms. For me, the cremini is the best all-round mushroom that works for any dish. Creminis are a little more flavourful and have a firmer texture than white button mushrooms. Nonetheless, any mushroom variety will be delicious in this recipe, so use what you have.

Ingredients

  • 1 box frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Lightly spray a 24 piece, or 2 12 cup mini muffin tin, or use non-stick pans
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat
  • Add shallot, garlic, and mushrooms and cook until softened
  • Add wine, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until the wine is completely reduced
  • Remove from heat
  • Cut pastry into 24 squares (a pizza wheel works great for this)
  • Press a square of pastry dough into each hole of the muffin tin. 
  • Press a slice of brie into the bottom of each square of dough
  • Divide the mushroom mixture evenly with a spoon, filling each muffin hole
  • Lightly brush each puff with melted butter
  • Fold the corners of each pastry square up, pinch together and twist to envelop all of the filling
  • Bake 20 minutes or until pastry is golden
  • Transfer to a platter and serve warm.

Notes

These appetizers can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, covered with foil, until ready to bake.
The puffs can also be assembled ahead,  and frozen, unbaked, then baked from frozen. To bake them from frozen, put the frozen appetizers on a baking sheet in a 400° oven and bake 25-30 minutes, keeping a close eye on them so that they don't burn.

    These were amazing -- and the recipe is very forgiving! Didn't have any white wine left, so I used Dry Vermouth and a splash of good white wine vinegar. Misread the instructions and brushed the melted butter on the outside of the tops -- still baked up beautifully and my guests were very very happy!

      Hi Karen, If it's all butter puff pastry; put them in a preheated oven (400° for 15-20 minutes. Just keep an eye on them to make sure they get golden and crisp.

    Your Brie Mushroom puff pastry appetizers sound so good, Colleen! I am just like you and always have several packages of all-butter puff pastry in my freezer. I am going to thaw a package in the refrigerator overnight immediately to make these. Thank you so much for the fun appetizer idea. I love everything about it! Happy holidays!
