Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and flavor; substitute with plant-based butter for a vegan version.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Enhances flavor and aids in sautéing; can be replaced with any neutral oil.
  • 1 medium Shallot (finely chopped) Provides sweetness and depth; yellow onion can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced) Adds aromatic flavor; can omit for a milder taste.
  • 8 ounces Mixed Mushrooms (sliced) Provide umami and texture; consider a blend of shiitake, cremini, or oyster for maximum flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme Leaves Offers earthy flavor; can replace with dried thyme (reduce the amount).
  • Salt and Black Pepper Seasoning to taste.
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour Thickens the filling; can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • ½ cup Dry White Wine Adds acidity and depth; can replace with vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic option.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Provides creaminess; can use plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Gruyère Cheese (grated) Imparts nutty richness; can swap with sharp white cheddar or Fontina for different flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (optional) Enhances flavor; can omit if preferred.
For the Crust
  • 1 package Puff Pastry (thawed) Forms the flaky crust; pie crust can be used but results in a denser texture.
  • 1 large Egg (beaten) For egg wash to achieve a golden color; water can be used as a non-egg alternative.
  • Extra Thyme Leaves For garnish.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease six ramekins with butter or oil.

  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until browned, seasoning with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for a minute, then pour in white wine and simmer until reduced.
  5. Stir in whole milk until thickened, then add grated Gruyère and Dijon mustard.
  6. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and cut out rounds larger than ramekins.
  7. Fill each ramekin with mushroom mixture, cover with pastry, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam.
  8. Brush pastries with beaten egg and sprinkle thyme leaves on top.
  9. Bake on a sheet for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Let pies cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
