Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms then cook, stirring only as needed for about 8–10 minutes, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
  • Add garlic, salt, pepper and thyme then cook for 2 additional minutes then transfer mushrooms to a plate or tray and let them to come to room temperature. Unfold puff pastry sheet on a lightly-floured surface then pinch together seams. Roll out slightly to form a 12" x 12" square then brush top with beaten egg.
  • Top with grated cheeses, leaving a ¼" border around the edges. Coarsely chop the cooled mushrooms and spread them evenly over cheese. Roll puff pastry up jelly-roll-style into a 12"-long cylinder, allowing the egg along the top border to glue the pastry together at the seam.
  • If pastry becomes sticky, place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. Otherwise, cut log into ¾"-thick slices then space pinwheels as far apart as possible on prepared baking sheet. Brush each pinwheel with remaining egg then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a light dusting of garlic salt.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
