Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet
  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1-2 tbsps. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 1/2 cup red onion sliced thin
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme removed from stem
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary removed from stem and chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Egg wash
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, stir to coat with oil, spread evenly in the pan, and allow to sit undisturbed for about 4 minutes.
  • Add wine and butter to the skillet. Allow butter to melt. Then, add garlic and onion.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes, strirring every so often, until onions and garlic are fragrant and mushrooms have softenened.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Stir and remove from heat. Stir in the herbs and set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll the puff pastry. Roll out the dough just to remove the creases.
  • Spread the mushroom mixture (without pan juices) down the center of the puff pastry sheet. Top with shredded mozzarella.
  • With kitchen scissors, or a sharp knife, cut the ends of the dough up towards the filled center in 1-inch strips.
  • Take an end strip and begin overlapping each strip until a braid forms. Tuck in or trim ends.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly brush on the egg wash and sprinkle with garlic powder.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until dough is completely cooked through and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool before cutting in slices and serving.
