Method

  1. To make the Mushroom Puff Pastry Rolls, start with the mushrooms themselves: rinse them under running water, dry them with a damp cloth and cut them into small pieces.

  2. In a small saucepan, cook the mushrooms with a squeeze of lemon and a pat of butter for about fifteen minutes and, if the mixture gets too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water.

  3. With a rolling pin, roll the pastry out to a few millimeters thick and use a pastry wheel to cut it into rectangles all the same size.

  4. Now fill them: cut the ham slices in half and place some ham and mushrooms along one side of each rectangle, add a few pine nuts and a strip of fontina, and finally season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Roll up the pastry and seal the edges with the tines of a fork. Beat the egg yolk in a bowl, thin it with a splash of water and brush it over the rolls.

Variations and Alternatives

You can make this recipe fully vegetarian by leaving out the ham. You can also use another cheese instead of fontina if you don’t care for it.

Tips

Some crispy bacon added to the ham and fontina will make this recipe even tastier and more inviting. All that’s left is to let your creativity loose and make your favorite version.

Storage

We don’t recommend storing the Mushroom Puff Pastry Rolls, since the texture of the puff pastry and the quality of the filling ingredients would suffer in the fridge.
