Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a 17.3-once package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets(1 sheet), thawed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cups mushrooms, cut into quarters
  • 1 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
