Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by finely chopping the mushrooms and sautéing them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, or until all moisture has evaporated.
  2. Combine the sautéed mushrooms with the cooked beef tenderloin in a bowl, mixing well and seasoning with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard.
  3. Roll out the cold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick and cut into squares or rectangles of approximately 3x3 inches.
  4. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry square, ensuring not to overfill.
  5. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, sealing the edges tightly by crimping them with a fork.
  6. Brush the tops with egg wash to achieve a golden finish when baked.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled bites for 20 minutes to firm up the pastry and filling.
  8. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the bites for 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
  10. Arrange on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs or a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
