Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the egg yolk and water in a small bowl with a fork.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet on the baking sheet. Cut 1/2-inch strips from each side of the pastry sheet. Brush the edges of the pastry sheet with the egg mixture. Place 1 strip on each edge of the pastry sheet. Prick the center of the pastry with a fork and brush with the egg mixture.
  • Bake the pastry for 15 minutes or it's until golden brown. Let the pastry cool on a wire rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they're softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the black pepper and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid evaporates.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half the thyme and parsley. Spoon the mushroom mixture over the pastry and sprinkle with the goat cheese.
  • Bake the pastry for 10 to 15 minutes or until the topping is hot.
  • Drizzle the pastry with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining parsley and thyme.
