Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare 6 ramekins by lightly greasing them.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add 1 finely chopped shallot and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 500 g of mixed mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, then season with 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add 120 ml of dry white wine; allow to reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour in 240 ml of whole milk, stirring gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then fold in 100 g of shredded Gruyère cheese and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard until creamy.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry and cut 6 rounds larger than the ramekins, about 1-2 cm larger for a nice overhang.
  7. Spoon the mushroom filling into each ramekin, filling them about three-quarters full. Top with the puff pastry rounds and seal the edges.
  8. Beat 1 egg and brush the tops of the pot pies for a golden color. Sprinkle extra thyme on top.
  9. Bake the pot pies in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
