Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, warm the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for approximately 8 minutes until mushrooms are browned.
- Sprinkle in thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Optionally add a splash of white wine and cook until absorbed.
- Lower the heat, mix in cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until smooth, then fold in Gruyère cheese.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, then stir in a beaten egg to bind the filling.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness, and cut diagonal strips along the edges.
- Spoon the mushroom filling into the center third of the pastry, fold ends over, and braid the strips alternately.
- Transfer the braid to the baking tray and glaze the top with a beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Let the braid rest for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes
Use a preheated baking tray for a crisper bottom and consider making the braid ahead of time.
