INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Prepare the Pastry
The puff pastry should be completed thawed in the refrigerator and the oven will need to be preheated to 400 degrees F. After lightly dusting some flour onto your work surface, you will need to lay out the pastry and make serrated edges with a knife or pizza cutter, leaving about ½ inch around each edge. One cup of shredded gruyere cheese should be spread out over the pastry leaving the border clean.

FAQ
Can you reheat puff pastry?
The simple answer is yes, but it will lose some of its crispy texture. Puff pastry can be reheated in an air fryer, in the oven, or in the microwave. Make sure that you don't store your puff pastry for more than a few days in the refrigerator because it can develop mold.
Should you wash mushrooms?
There are differing opinions on this. If mushrooms look fairly clean, then a damp cloth should work just fine to clean them up a bit. If they are really dirty, you can try shaking them clean in a colander, but you may have to result to washing them under water.
