Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and thyme. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic for 1 minute.
  3. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden. Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and cook until evaporated.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Score a 1-inch border and prick the center with a fork.
  5. Transfer puff pastry to the baking sheet. Layer with Gruyère cheese and spoon the cooled mushroom mixture evenly on top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Allow to cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure mushrooms are well-dried before layering to prevent sogginess. Work with cold pastry for the best results. For a golden finish, brush pastry edges with beaten egg before baking.
