Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease six 6-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
- Roll out frozen puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut out circles slightly larger than the tops of your ramekins.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and mixed mushrooms, cooking for 8-10 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and moisture has evaporated.
- Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and chopped fresh thyme, stirring to coat mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of vegetable broth and cook until smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and let the filling simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste, then divide among the prepared ramekins.
- Sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese over the filling in each ramekin, then place puff pastry rounds on top and gently press to seal.
- Brush tops with a beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly cooked to prevent soggy filling; press pastry edges down firmly to seal properly.
