| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sliced button or baby bella mushrooms | 8 oz. |
| Unsalted butter | 1-2 tablespoons |
| Cloves garlic, crushed | 2-3 |
| Deli roast beef, thinly sliced | 1/2 lb. |
| Swiss cheese, shredded | 8 oz. |
| Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry sheets | 1 lb. box (2 sheets) |
| Egg | 1 |
| Water | 1/2 tablespoon |
| Sour cream | 3/4 cup |
| Mayonnaise | 3 tablespoons |
| Freshly grated horseradish | 1-2 teaspoons |
| Worcestershire sauce | Dash |
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and crushed garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are slightly softened and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped roast beef and shredded Swiss cheese. Add the semi-cooled mushroom mixture to the bowl and toss until well mixed.
- Roll Out Puff Pastry: Unwrap the thawed puff pastry and place one sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to approximately 12″ x 12″ in size. Cut the pastry sheet in half diagonally to create two triangles.
- Assemble Wellingtons: Spoon a quarter of the prepared roast beef filling onto one side of each pastry triangle, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a smaller triangular packet. Seal the edges tightly with a fork. Repeat this process with the remaining pastry and filling to make four individual beef Wellingtons.
- Egg Wash and Bake: Place the prepared Wellingtons on a greased baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve: Remove the beef Wellingtons from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, accompanied by the prepared horseradish sauce for dipping.
