These delightful mushroom and blue cheese pastry bites are perfect for entertaining or as a delicious appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy pastry.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and remove the stems.
Avoid washing mushrooms under water to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12 equal squares.
Keep the puff pastry cold for easier handling and better puffing.
Fill each mushroom cap with a small amount of crumbled blue cheese.
Don't overfill to prevent the cheese from oozing out during baking.
Place each filled mushroom in the center of a puff pastry square, then fold the corners up and pinch them together to seal.
Ensure the pastry is sealed well to keep the filling inside.
Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the pastry bundles for a golden finish.
Brushing with egg wash gives the pastry a beautiful sheen.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Check the bundles halfway through to ensure even browning.
Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious appetizer!
Serving warm enhances the flavors and texture of the bites.
