Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms, rehydrated and chopped
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the puff pastry by rolling it out on a lightly floured surface into a thin, even layer. This will be the base for your flaky pinwheels.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, sauté the rehydrated porcini mushrooms with minced garlic and fresh thyme over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the truffle oil for a rich, earthy flavor.
Step 3
Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the puff pastry. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring each bite is filled with creamy, savory goodness. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Roll the puff pastry into a tight log, starting from one edge. Brush the outside with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve warm for the best flaky texture and rich taste.
