Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet (about 8 oz) puff pastry, thawed
  • 12 oz mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh arugula (optional, for serving)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto your prepared baking sheet. Dock the pastry by pricking it all over, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  3. Clean and slice your mushrooms about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Add minced garlic and thyme to the mushrooms. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the docked portion of your puff pastry.
  7. Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the ricotta. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is deep golden brown and the cheese bubbles.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Top with fresh arugula before slicing if desired.

Notes

Thaw puff pastry properly. Dock the pastry to prevent uneven puffing. Cook mushrooms until moisture evaporates. Bake at the correct temperature for best results.
