Be careful not to cut all the way through.Assemble the pastry: Once the mushroom mixture has cooled slightly, spread it evenly inside the puff pastry frame. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to help it brown.Bake: Place the puff pastry in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.Enjoy your delicious mushroom puff pastry as a tasty appetizer or a light meal!
