Ingredients

For the Filling

Mushrooms (400g, finely chopped): Use a mix of button, chestnut, or portobello mushrooms for depth of flavor.
Spinach (200g): Adds freshness and color.
Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Enhances the earthy mushroom flavor.
Onion (1, finely chopped): Adds sweetness and depth.
Breadcrumbs (50g): Helps bind the filling.
Cream Cheese (100g): Adds creaminess to the mixture.
Fresh Thyme (1 tsp): Adds an aromatic, herbaceous note.
Olive Oil (2 tbsp): For sautéing.
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

For the Pastry

Puff Pastry (1 sheet, ready-made): Makes the dish quick and easy to prepare.
Egg (1, beaten): For brushing the pastry to achieve a golden crust.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until the moisture has evaporated about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3: Add the spinach

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Stir in the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the Wellington

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place the mushroom mixture in the center, shaping it into a log. Fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges and trimming any excess pastry. Place the Wellington seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.

Step 5: Brush with egg wash

Brush the pastry with beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish. Use a knife to score a decorative pattern on top if desired.

Step 6: Bake the Wellington

Place the Wellington in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 7: Serve

Let the Wellington rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
