Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Add thyme, salt, and pepper, then stir in the breadcrumbs until the mixture binds together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Place the mushroom mixture in the center, shaping it into a log. Wrap the pastry around the filling, sealing the edges tightly.
6. Place the wrapped pastry seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg wash if desired.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
