• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low and add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms reduce by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in cream. Remove from heat and allow mushroom mixture to cool. It will thicken as it cools.
• Unfold pastry sheet onto floured surface and lightly roll into a 12 x 15 inch square. Cut into eighteen 3 inch squares. Place a mounded teaspoon of mushroom filling in the center of each square. Fold pastry over filling to form a triangle. Pinch edges firmly together with a fork to seal.
• Bake 12 to 16 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray cups of two 12-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges of the onion begin to brown and caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
• Roll out puff pastry sheet into a horizontal rectangle on a large, lightly floured cutting board. Use a pizza slicer to cut pastry into 4 rows horizontally and 6 rows vertically so that you have 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press each dough square into each mini muffin cup and prick with the tines of a fork.
• Divide mushroom mixture amongst pastry cups. Top with shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle with thyme.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed up and the corners are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 3 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.

Steps:

• Make the mushroom filling: In a 12-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat, melt together 1 tablespoon of Private Selection™ Salted French Butter and the Private Selection™ Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Once it starts to foam, add the mushrooms and thyme and stir to coat. Sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring, until the bottoms of the mushrooms are golden brown, before stirring again and continuing to cook without disturbing. Repeat, adding more butter as needed if the pan looks too dry, until the mushrooms are browned and cooked through, 7-8 minutes total.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the garlic and pepper and cook for another minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the sherry vinegar, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove the thyme sprigs, then set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to a 9-inch square, then cut into 9 3-inch squares and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Use a paring knife to lightly score a ½-inch border around the edges of each square, making sure not to cut all the way through. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg yolk mixture over the borders of each square.
• Place about 2 teaspoons of Private Selection® Alpine Blend Cheese in the center of each pastry square, then top with about 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture, arranging the mushrooms in a nice pattern, if desired. Top each pastry with a small pinch of Private Selection® Alpine Blend Cheese.
• Bake the squares for 15-17 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Use your fingers to strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs, then garnish the mushroom bites with the thyme leaves just before serving.
• Enjoy!
