# What You Need:

→ Filling

01 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
02 - 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
03 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster), chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
06 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Crust and Finish

09 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
10 - 1 large egg, beaten

→ Additional

11 - 1/2 cup vegetable broth
12 - 1/4 cup heavy cream
13 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
14 - 3/4 cup Gruyère cheese, grated

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal browning and crispness of pastry.
02 - Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
03 - Add chopped mushrooms and thyme leaves to skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are deeply browned and all released moisture has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
04 - Sprinkle flour over mushrooms; stir to coat and cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in vegetable broth, stirring continuously until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
05 - Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add grated Gruyère and continue stirring until cheese is fully melted and mixture is smooth. Remove skillet from heat.
06 - Divide warm filling evenly among four ramekins. Place a square of puff pastry over each, pressing gently to seal edges. Brush pastry tops with beaten egg.
07 - Place ramekins on baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until pastry is golden and crisp.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best results, allow the mushroom mixture to cool slightly before topping with pastry to prevent sogginess.
