Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease six 6-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it reaches about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles that fit your ramekins comfortably.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add a large chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until translucent.
  4. Incorporate mixed mushrooms and minced garlic into skillet, cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates.
  5. Stir in fresh thyme leaves and all-purpose flour, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to form a light roux.
  6. Gradually pour in vegetable broth while stirring. Bring to a gentle simmer, then mix in heavy cream and let it thicken.
  7. Season the filling with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Distribute the mushroom filling among ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full. Sprinkle Gruyère cheese on top.
  9. Cover with puff pastry rounds, sealing edges tightly and brushing with an egg wash.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  11. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
