Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (Gruyère or cheddar)
- 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- ½ teaspoon of salt (to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon of pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter (for cooking the onions and mushrooms)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into squares or circles about 4 inches in size.
- Press each piece of puff pastry into the cups of a greased muffin tin.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter and add sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed onions and mushrooms, followed by the shredded cheese.
- Spoon the filling mixture into each puff pastry-lined cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
