Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease six 6-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness and cut out circles slightly larger than your ramekins.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion, and cook until translucent.
  4. Add the minced garlic and mixed mushrooms to the skillet, sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Stir in fresh thyme and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  6. Gradually pour in 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth while stirring, bring to a simmer.
  7. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  8. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Spoon the mushroom filling into the ramekins and sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of shredded Gruyère cheese.
  10. Cover each ramekin with a puff pastry round, pressing the edges to seal.
  11. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
  12. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  13. Let the pot pies cool for 10 minutes before serving.
