2. 2

   Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thick.

3. 3

   Cut the pastry into circles using a cookie cutter, then use a smaller cutter to mark a smaller circle inside each one, creating a border.

4. 4

   Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry circles to glaze.

5. 5

   Bake the pastry circles in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and puffed.

6. 6

   While the pastry is baking, clean and slice the mushrooms.

7. 7

   Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms, and cook until they are soft and golden.

8. 8

   Add the thyme to the mushrooms and stir well.

9. 9

   Once the pastry is baked, remove the inner circle to create a hollow.
