Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Heat a pan until it's almost smoking hot.

Prepare the mushrooms by trimming any woody ends and cutting larger ones in half.

Add olive oil to the hot pan and add the mushrooms, cooking until they release their moisture and brown, about 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and add a couple of knobs of butter to the mushrooms to create a sauce.

Take pre-bought Borg's puff pastry out of the freezer and score a 2 cm border around the edges.

Place the cooked mushrooms within the scored border on the pastry.

Make an egg wash by whisking an egg with a tiny bit of milk until smooth.

Brush the egg wash around the edges of the pastry for shine.

Grate gruyere cheese over the mushroom filling and the pastry edges.

Sprinkle fresh thyme over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
