Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather six 6-ounce ramekins on a baking tray.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 diced onion for about 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in 12 ounces of mixed mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme. Sauté for 7-10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth while stirring. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix in 1 cup of grated Gruyère cheese.
  7. Carefully divide the filling among the ramekins.
  8. Roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut out circles larger than the ramekins. Place pastry rounds on top of each ramekin.
  9. Brush the pastry tops with a beaten egg for a golden sheen. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  10. Cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
