Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease the inside of six ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, combine 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute.
- Add 500 grams of sliced mixed mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until moisture evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, cooking for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in 120 ml of dry white wine and let simmer until reduced, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually pour in 240 ml of whole milk, stirring continuously until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in 100 grams of grated Gruyère cheese and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard if desired.
- Remove skillet from heat and let cool slightly. Roll out a sheet of thawed puff pastry and cut into six rounds slightly larger than ramekins.
- Spoon cooled mushroom filling into greased ramekins. Place pastry rounds on top, sealing edges securely. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg for shine and sprinkle with additional thyme leaves. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes
Prepare the mushroom filling up to 2 days in advance for easy assembly. Experiment with cheese options to create unique flavors.
