Ashley Mac’s Mushroom Puffs
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened*
- 1 (8-oz.) can mushroom pieces and stems, drained and chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 (17.3-oz.) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- Parchment paper
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
Beat cream cheese at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until smooth. Stir in mushrooms and next 4 ingredients. Cover and chill 1 to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together egg and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Roll 1 puff pastry sheet into a 16- x 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut pastry in half lengthwise. Spread 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture down center of each rectangle; brush edges with egg mixture. Fold each pastry half lengthwise over filling, and pinch edges to seal. Cut pastries into 10 pieces each, and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining puff pastry sheet, egg mixture, and cream cheese mixture.
Brush remaining egg mixture over tops of pastry pieces; sprinkle with pepper.
Bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned. Serve immediately.
