Tips:

1. Use high-quality mushrooms: Choose fresh and flavorful mushrooms, such as shiitake or cremini, for the best flavor and texture.
2. Don’t overfill the pastry: Fill the pastry with just the right amount of mushroom mixture to prevent overflowing and ensure a golden crust.
3. Add some flavor with herbs and spices: Use thyme, rosemary, and garlic to add a savory and aromatic flavor to the mushrooms.
4. Experiment with different types of pastry: Try using different types of pastry, such as puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, for a unique texture and flavor.
5. Make ahead for a stress-free party: Prepare the mushroom mixture and pastry ahead of time and assemble just before baking for a stress-free party appetizer.
