Ingredients

Scale

Mushroom Filling

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 300g mushrooms (cremini, oyster, shiitake), chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp cream or mascarpone
  • Salt & pepper
  • 100g Gruyère, grated

Pastry

  • 1 puff pastry sheet
  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk (egg wash)
  • Optional: herbs or flaky salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté shallot and garlic: In a pan, sauté shallot and garlic in olive oil and butter until fragrant.
  2. Add mushrooms and thyme: Stir in chopped mushrooms and fresh thyme. Cook until mushrooms are golden and moisture evaporates.
  3. Prepare the filling: Stir in cream or mascarpone, season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and fold in grated Gruyère cheese. Allow to cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the braid: Roll out the puff pastry sheet. Spread the mushroom filling down the center. Cut the sides into strips and fold them over the filling, creating a braid. Tuck in the ends.
  5. Egg wash and bake: Brush the braid with egg wash, garnish with herbs or salt, then bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Serve: Allow the puff braid to rest briefly before slicing and serving.
