TOTAL: 40 minutes
Servings: 16 Pinwheels
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Holiday, Vegan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 200 g 7 oz mushrooms, very finely chopped (cremini or button)
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme or ½ tsp fresh thyme
  • 3 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (plus more for garnish, optional)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion (if using) and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  3. Stir in garlic, mushrooms, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the moisture is gone.
  4. Stir in chopped parsley, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  5. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (if needed).
  6. Spread the cooled mushroom mixture evenly across the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on one long edge.
  7. Sprinkle grated parmesan over the filling.
  8. Starting from the long edge opposite the border, roll the pastry into a tight log.
  9. Pinch the seam to seal, place seam-side down, and chill the roll for 10 minutes.
  10. Slice into ½-inch (1.25 cm) rounds and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.
  11. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
  12. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden, puffed, and crisp on the edges.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if you’d like.

Notes

  • Use finely chopped mushrooms for easy rolling and even flavor.
  • Cooling the filling is important, warm filling will melt the pastry...
  • Dried thyme and parsley work great if you don’t have fresh on hand.
  • Bake from frozen: Add 3–5 minutes to the cook time if baking straight from the freezer.
  • For an AIR FRYER version, cook at 200°C (400°F) for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through if needed.
