Mushroom Puff Pastry Appetizers

Mushroom Puff Pastry Appetizers, a fast and easy finger food that will be gone in minutes. The perfect Bite Size Appetizer for family dinners or get togethers.

The other day I decided to make one of our favourite lasagna, White Sauce Lasagna, if you haven’t tried it, believe me you must give it a taste.

It’s rich and delicious and filled with the best of everything. From Italian Sausages, to Peas and Mushrooms to a fast and easy Homemade White Sauce.

And that is how I came up with these Simple Appetizers. I had some leftover White Sauce, you don’t need much about half a cup maybe less. You could add a little extra extra milk,  flour and butter when making the white sauce just to make sure you have some left over.

Or you could always make a smaller amount just to try these! A cup of milk, one tablespoon of flour and butter with a pinch of salt would probably work. In a small pot melt the butter whisk in the flour and salt, then slowly add the milk, on medium/low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Let cool.

I had a roll of Puff Pastry in the fridge, so I rolled it out and using my two and a half-inch round cookie cutter I cut out about 10 rounds.

I topped each round with a teaspoon or two of White Sauce a few mushroom slices, which I was already using in the Lasagna so I sliced up a few extra and sautéed them in a little olive oil with some spices.

And of course topped with a generous sprinkle of Fresh Parmesan Cheese, or your preferred cheese. They baked up in about 20 minutes and I can tell you they were gone in less!

Ingredients

  • Thawed puff pastry dough – use store-bought or learn how to make puff pastry. It’s easier than you think!
  • Olive oil
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Salt
  • Dried oregano
  • Chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • Leftover white sauce – can be homemade or storebought
  • Parmesan cheese
Ingredients to make mushroom puff pastries.

Recipe Steps

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the oil, mushrooms, salt, oregano, and parsley in a small pan. Sauté them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly golden brown and tender.

Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut out circles with a round cookie cutter. Place them on the lined baking sheet.

Top each round with some white sauce, some mushroom mixture, and sprinkle the cheese over the top.

Bake the mushroom puff pastries for about 20 minutes and then seve them warm from the oven.

I think these Mushroom Puff Pastry Appetizers would make a great addition to any dinner or get together where you want to serve an Antipasto, something everyone will enjoy! These will definitely be on my Holiday Table this year. Buon Appetito!

    Notes

    These should really be eaten when made, but if you do have leftovers cover well or place in an airtight container and refrigerate. They should keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.

        Loved your mushroom puff pastries. A tip however. I found that the mushrooms tended to slide off the pastry (white sauce) during the cooking process, so I marked an inner circle on the puff pastry and marked the inside of the inner circle with a fork which had the effect of making a “well” in the centre – which did not puff as much – causing the mushrooms to stay put. Worked a treat
