Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Phyllo pastry shells

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 medium Yellow onion
  • 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese
  • 2 packages Phyllo pastry shells
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh chives

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the mini phyllo shells on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until translucent and lightly golden.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chopped mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture and turned deep brown.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, then remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Add the softened cream cheese and shredded Gruyère cheese to the mushroom mixture. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is well combined.
  • Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the mushroom filling into each phyllo shell, pressing down slightly to ensure they are full.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the phyllo shells are crisp and the filling is heated through and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm.
