Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
2 small shallots, finely diced
1 1/2 cup chanterelle mushrooms, finely diced
1 apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/3 cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
3–4 sprigs of sage, finely sliced
about 8 tablespoons of brie or camembert
2 sheets frozen puff pastry – slightly thawed
1 egg yolk plus 1 tablespoon cream for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out the puff pastry into a 10(ish) by 18(ish) inch rectangle. Cut pastry into thirds length-wise, leaving you three 18inch long strips. Cut each strip in half leaving you with 6 rectangles. Line them into a muffin tin with slight over hang on either side. Repeat this step with the second puff pastry sheet.
In a small skillet or frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter down. Continue to cook until browned. Add in the shallots, chanterelles, apples, nuts and sage. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook just until the ingredients have softened, stirring every so often, for a total of about 3-5 minutes.
add about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the base of each muffin tin. Add about a tablespoon slice of brie on top. Cut each side of the puff pastry overhang to create about 5 strips. Wrap the strips around the filling, enclosing the pastry. See video for reference above.
Mix the egg yolk and cream together. Brush on top of each pastry, top with small sprigs of sage.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown.
Serve warm.
Notes
This recipe can be modified to mini muffin tins to create a more stackable treat! Cut out about 1 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch puff pastry for the tin, fill with only 1 tablespoon of the filling and a teaspoon-ish of brie. Very casual.
