CHEESY PUFFED MUSHROOM BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

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.

CHEESY BROCCOLI PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Cook the broccoli according to the package directions. Transfer to a colander to drain until cool, about 5 minutes.

• Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Roll out a sheet of the puff pastry on a clean work surface into a 12-inch square, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut the puff pastry into sixteen 3-inch squares with a pizza wheel or knife. Place 1 tablespoon of the broccoli mixture in the center of each square. Working with a square at a time, pinch together 2 opposite corners, then pinch together the remaining 2 corners to create a small packet. Transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and filling. Brush the packets with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Place the bites in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the fridge and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 15 to 20 minutes.
