  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly flour your counter.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry and cut out circles using a round cutter.
  3. Use a smaller cutter to press a light indentation in the center of each circle and prick it with a fork.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet, season with salt, and cook until they are golden-brown (6-8 minutes).
  6. Stir in the diced cooked chicken and heat through for a minute.
  7. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir for a minute, then gradually add chicken stock, stirring constantly.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Spoon the filling into the pastry bases, place a smaller pastry circle on top, and brush with egg wash.
  10. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

Notes

Thaw puff pastry in the fridge overnight for best results. Variations include seafood, ham and cheese, or vegetarian options with wild mushrooms. For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness. Adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to the cream sauce enhances flavor without being noticeable.
