Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease six ramekins lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add 500 grams of mixed mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir for about 1 minute. Gradually pour in 100 ml of dry white wine, stirring until nearly evaporated.
- Pour in 250 ml of whole milk slowly, mixing until thickened. Add 150 grams of grated Gruyère cheese and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, stirring until melted and creamy.
- Cool the filling slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Unroll a sheet of thawed puff pastry and cut out circles 1-2 inches larger than the ramekins.
- Spoon filling into the ramekins and top with pastry, sealing edges. Cut a small slit in the center for steam to escape.
- Whisk together an egg and a splash of water for the wash. Brush over the pastry and sprinkle with extra thyme leaves.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving, garnished with extra thyme.
