These delectable pastry pieces make a sophisticated (yet simple) party snack. If you’d prefer, you can use fresh thyme leaves in place of the dried variety.

Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium onion, diced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- freshly cracked salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray cups of two 12-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges of the onion begin to brown and caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
- Roll out puff pastry sheet into a horizontal rectangle on a large, lightly floured cutting board. Use a pizza slicer to cut pastry into 4 rows horizontally and 6 rows vertically so that you have 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press each dough square into each mini muffin cup and prick with the tines of a fork.
- Divide mushroom mixture amongst pastry cups. Top with shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle with thyme.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed up and the corners are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 3 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.

Reviews
Hmmm. I think these have a lot of potential but as written….only okay. I would have used a bit more cheese per pastry (recipe is about 3oz total – including the Parmesan?) and even a bit more seasoning; more thyme? Maybe more S&P? Onion and/or garlic powder? I can see these being delectable bites – I just need to play with this a bit more. This recipe gives me some inspiration and for that?? Thank you!
