Filling:
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced shallot
3/4 c mushrooms — finely chopped
1/3 c seeded tomato — finely chopped
3/4 tsp fresh thyme or 1/4 tsp dried — crumbled
1/8 tsp each salt and pepper

mushrooms are soft. Add tomato, thyme, salt and pepper and saute 1
minute more. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl and cool about 5
minutes. Add feta cheese; stir to mix well.

Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. With a folling pin,

leaving a 1/2=inch border all around. Moisten edges with water. Fold

transfer pastries to ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm or at
room temperature.
