Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups diced mushrooms
  • ½ tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, or other preferred cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • cup milk, or cream
  • ½ tsp salt, or more to taste
  • tsp pepper, or more to taste

Instructions

  • Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and once melted, add the onions, stirring well. Allow the onions to cook, stirring often to prevent burning. Remove from heat after about 15-20 minutes once the onions have begun to caramelize and brown.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheet of puff pastry slightly. Slice into 9 equal square pieces. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the caramelized onions, chopped mushrooms, thyme and shredded cheese, mixing well. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
  • Lightly grease the muffin tin, then press the puff pastry squares into the tin. Fill each of the pastry cups about three-quarters full with the onion and mushroom mixture. Pour the egg mixture in until it reaches the top of the filling.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown and the eggs are cooked through in the center.
  • Serve immediately, or store the extras in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the oven or air fryer!
