    Mushroom Puffs

    I have an appetizer recipe for you today that is delicious! I'm calling it Mushroom Puffs because it's made with puff pastry, Brie cheese, portabella mushrooms, and a few other good things. With a mix of those ingredients, you can't go wrong!

    I was served something similar this past weekend when we were visiting with our friends Rick and Trish. They had invited another couple to dinner, and they brought this appetizer with them. Everyone thought it was wonderful, and it quickly disappeared. I asked about the recipe and Mercedes described how she had made them. So I recreated them today so I could pass along the recipe to you.

    How to make Mushroom Puffs

    First, you will need some frozen puff pastry. Take it out to thaw about 20 minutes before you are ready to use it. You will use both sheets for this recipe.

    Mushroom puffs 011

    Chop one onion and 3 cloves of garlic.  Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan and saute the onions and garlic on medium heat for about 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, clean and wipe dry 2 packages of baby portabella mushrooms.

    Mushroom puffs 022

    Chop the mushrooms and add them to the pan with the onions and garlic. Continue to cook for about 20 minutes on medium heat. Stir frequently and mash the mixture with the back of a wooden spoon as it cooks.  Let all the moisture evaporate. Add 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.

    Mushroom puffs 025

    Add 2 tablespoons of white wine to the mixture. This is our favorite, inexpensive wine that we like during the summer, and it's a good accompaniment to these mushroom appetizers!

    Mushroom puffs 027

    Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or some half 'n half to the mushroom mixture and stir until all is mixed together. Set aside and let cool.

    Spread some flour on a surface and unroll both sheets of puff pastry. Use a cookie cutter to cut out some round shapes, or you can just cut some squares if you'd like. Transfer the cut outs to ungreased cookie sheets.

    Mushroom puffs 032

    I used my finger to make some little wells in the center of each shape, but you really don't have to do this.

    Mushroom puffs 006

    Next you will need a wheel of Brie cheese.

    Mushroom puffs 033

     Unwrap the cheese and cut off the rind. Slice it into thin pieces about 1 inch in size.

    Mushroom puffs 036

    Place a spoonful of the mushroom mixture onto each cut out and lay a piece of  Brie cheese on top of the mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden.

    Mushroom puffs 008

    Add a little fresh grated Parmesan cheese to each top while still warm.

    Mushroom puffs 040

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

      Hi, I'm new to your blog but this appetizer caught my eye as a perfect nibble for Thanksgiving. One hint...this Brie company makes a Brie log. Perfect for slicing and using with round crackers. If you can get your grocer to carry it you will suddenly find yourself slicing up Brie for everything. Originally I found it at Walmart but my local grocer put in a special request.
