Champignons En Croute Recipes

CROUTES AUX CHAMPIGNONS (MUSHROOMS ON TOAST)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion, and cook until softened, but not brown. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over medium heat until the juices start to run. Uncover, and cook until the liquid evaporates.
• Add the wine, reduce by half. Add the cream, stir, and let simmer a few minutes, until thickened.
• Toast the bread, and place on a baking sheet. Top with the mushroom mixture and grated cheese.
• Place the toasts under the broiler, just until the top starts to brown. Serve immediately.

BRIE & MUSHROOMS EN CROUTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
• Put the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the onion, minced rosemary, thyme and garlic and stir to combine. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper, then stir. Deglaze the pan with the wine and continue to cook until the wine has reduced, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, make an egg wash by beating the egg with 1 tablespoon of cold water.
• Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and pile the mushrooms in the middle. Place the wheel of Brie in the center. Fold up the sides of the puff pastry to enclose the mushrooms and Brie, folding in the edges to seal. Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared sheet pan seam-side down and brush with the egg wash.
• Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then top with rosemary sprigs and dried cranberries to resemble an evergreen bush with berries.
