Method:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to CircoTherm 190C and line a baking tray with baking parchment or a silicone mat.

Step 2

Unroll the pastry and brush with the whisked egg, then slice the pastry in half width-ways and place one piece on top of the other, so you have two layers of pastry.

Step 3

Cut the pastry into 20 small squares (4 squares by 5 squares).

Step 4

Place the squares on the prepared tray place in the oven. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden. Then take out of the oven.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium-high heat until the butter starts to foam. Place the mushrooms in the pan and fry for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown.

Step 6

Add the garlic, salt and pepper to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Step 7

Place the pastry bites on a serving plate and spoon ½ tsp of the soft cheese top of each. Carefully arrange the mushrooms on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with chives before serving.
