Mushroom Puff Pastry Bites
Buttery puff pastry is topped with a creamy mushroom filling then topped with cheese to make these delicious Mushroom Puff Pastry Bites.
Puff pastry is one of the best foods ever. Being able to buy frozen puff pastry is super convenient to use for both savory and sweet recipes.
I especially loved it in these Mushroom Puff Pastry Bites. Buttery and crispy puff pastry is topped with a delicious mushroom and cream cheese mixture, then topped with cheese. So tasty!
Ingredients needed
- butter
- fresh mushrooms
- onion
- garlic
- pepper
- cream cheese, softened
- shredded cheddar cheese
- frozen puff pastry sheets
- egg + water for an egg wash
Substitutions to change things up
Cream cheese – Try using different flavors of cream cheese, such as garlic & herb or jalapeno. I think Boursin cheese would also taste great.
Cheese – Use other types of cheese that you like! Monterey Jack, white cheddar, blue cheese crumbles, etc.
Turnovers – Instead of squares, you could fold the squares over onto themselves. To make sure the edges seal, dab water lightly along one side, fold over the filled square, then crimp the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
