Ingredients
- 1 Puff Pastry sheet rectangular
- 9 oz Cremini Mushrooms
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon White Wine
- 2 oz Goat Cheese
- Parsley
- Thyme
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Finely chop the raw Cremini mushrooms in a food processor. Then add them to a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and 2 halved garlic cloves.
- Cook at medium heat until they start to brown, then add a tablespoon of white wine. Turn down the heat and season with salt, black pepper, a bit of parsley, and a pinch of thyme.
- Cook at low heat until the mushrooms are fully cooked and browned. Set them aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
- Roll the puff pastry on the table, then spread the mushrooms on a thin layer with a spatula, all up until the edges. Then, crumble the goat cheese all over the top.
- Carefully roll the puff pastry starting from a long side. Try to roll it as tight as possible.
- Cut the slices with a knife, about 1 inch thick (2.5 cm). Give them back the round shape with your fingers, then place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake them for about 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown on top.
Notes
Puff pastry is a very delicate dough. If you keep it outside of the fridge it will start to "melt" and lose its shape. If you keep it in the fridge without any cover, it will dry out and will not puff properly when you bake it. So, I highly suggest you to make these pinwheels only at the last minute and not ahead of time.
