Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 12x10 inches. Cut slits about 1 inch apart on both long sides.
Spoon the sautéed mushroom mixture along the center of the puff pastry, then top with grated Gruyère cheese.
Fold the slits of pastry over the filling in a crisscross pattern to create the braid effect.
Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

Serve with a light salad or a cup of soup. Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days.
