Best 3 Ivos Mushroom Leek Puff Pastry Triangles Recipes

MUSHROOM, LEEK, AND GRUYèRE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
• On a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit a rimmed baking sheet, roll the puff pastry sheet into a 10-by-10-inch square, gently smoothing out any creases in the pastry. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border all along the outer edge and being careful not to cut all the way through the pastry. Carefully slide the parchment with the scored pastry onto a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the topping.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When it bubbles, toss in the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add the leeks and cook until they begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and cook until they're soft but not yet releasing any liquid. Dump the mushroom filling in a strainer situated over a bowl and let drain for a few minutes.
• Spoon the mushroom filling onto the pastry, being careful to stay inside the scored lines. Either reserve the strained mushroom liquid for making vegetable stock or discard it. Grind fresh black pepper, if using, over the topping.
• Bake the tart for 15 minutes, checking the puff pastry after 10 minutes. If the pasty is already golden brown, cover the exposed pastry edges with foil strips to prevent it from turning too brown. After the first 15 minutes, remove the tart from the oven and sprinkle it with the cheese. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes more, or until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden brown. Again, it may be necessary to cover the outer edges with foil.
• Let cool for 5 minutes and then slice into squares or rectangles. This tart is best eaten as soon as it is cool enough to handle. (Any leftover mushroom leek tart can be wrapped and refrigerated, but the pastry will suffer. To reheat, pop under the broiler for a few minutes. Whatever you do, don't reheat the tart in the microwave.)

Stir in cream cheese until melted; remove from heat., Unfold one pastry sheet; cut into 9 squares. Cut each square diagonally in half. Place a scant teaspoon of filling on one half of each triangle. Brush edges of pastry with water; fold over to form a triangle. Seal edges with a fork; place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with second pastry sheet and remaining filling., Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked triangles on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a freezer conatiner; return to freezer. To use, bake as directed.

GRUYERE-MUSHROOM PUFF PASTRY BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray cups of two 12-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the edges of the onion begin to brown and caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
• Roll out puff pastry sheet into a horizontal rectangle on a large, lightly floured cutting board. Use a pizza slicer to cut pastry into 4 rows horizontally and 6 rows vertically so that you have 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press each dough square into each mini muffin cup and prick with the tines of a fork.
• Divide mushroom mixture amongst pastry cups. Top with shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle with thyme.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed up and the corners are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 3 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.
