Servings:
16 pieces
Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted overnight
  • 1 + 1 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, wiped clean with a damp paper towel and finely chopped
  • 1 large shallot (or 2 small), diced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more for optional topping
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 4 sprigs thyme, plus more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg, beaten
Directions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat,
  2. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are shiny and wet.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the shallots, and saute until the shallot is translucent (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Add the thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and it has evaporated.
  5. Add the balsamic vinegar. Reduce until the liquid has evaporated.
  6. Remove the mushrooms from the heat and allow to cool. Remove the thyme sprigs from the pan.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  8. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  9. Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter and roll out the puff pastry sheet so that it is about 10x14 inches.
  10. Cut the dough into 16 squares.
  11. Spread a small dot of Dijon mustard in the center of the square, and then add a spoonful of mushroom filling in the center of the mustard.
  12. Bring up two opposite corners of one square and press them together, then bring up the other two corners and press all of the seams together. Place the pastry seam-side down on the sheet pan, and repeat with the remaining squares.
  13. Brush the Wellingtons with the beaten egg. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each Wellington.
  14. Place in the preheated oven and bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 20–25 minutes.
  15. Serve with fresh thyme sprigs and your favorite dipping sauce.
