Fancy name (wellington) for an easy super cheesy stuffed mushroom wrapped in buttery puff pastry!
This wellington recipe is such a metaphor for life. Sometimes we preconceive or judge things based on false stories we tell ourselves out of fear! Most times (in my experience) it turns out to be bright sunshine happiness. A great example is when you want to start something new. I had all kinds of stories on why doing a food blog was not good. But I fought through them and it is the best thing I ever did. Wellington is a recipe people think is hard to make because it sounds fancy. In reality its one of the easiest comforting recipes I make at home. Its basically a sheet pan dinner that is wrapped in store bout pastry! So when starting something new, meeting new people, or starting a new adventure in life take a deep breath and know it is probably amazing. Most times in the end things always work out anyway! Cheers to happy new adventures.
I am actually making this for Friends Christmas/Hanukkah this year. Everyone brings their own family tradition recipes! I love this recipe because you can make in advance, Now everyone else can use the kitchen and I am done! I am sending you happy dinner vibes and please comment below when you make this! Cheers to Wellington recipes that celebrate you and make dinner possible no matter how busy you are!
Recipe Hack:
- Perfect make ahead dinner party! Prepare the wellington 3 days in advance on a sheet tray in the fridge. Because puff pastry should be cold when cooked, take right from fridge to oven.
- Use frozen spinach. If you use frozen spinach it is already cooked so skip a full step.
- Secret tip for awesome mushroom texture. Start by seasoning the mushroom with lots of olive oil and seasoning. Leave on counter to marinade wile prepare rest of ingredients (can be done overnight in fridge too). The olive oil and salt soaks through and gives it restaurant quality beefy texture.
Tools You Need For This Recipe:
- Sheet Pan
- Fun dinner smiles!
Why Puff Pastry Should be Cold When Cooked (plus fun tips):
- Puff pastry is actually layers and layers of butter and pastry. Before cooking something involving puff pastry put in fridge for 20 minutes or overnight. When the cold butter hits the hot oven it steams and pushes the dough up forming the flaky airy pastry.
- There are between 500-700 layers of butter in puff pastry! Yay team butter!
- Definitely buy at the store and defrost in fridge overnight or 20 minutes on the kitchen counter.
- They actually have great vegan puff pastry
