For extra flavor, add cream cheese or béchamel sauce to the filling.

You can also make one large mushroom and ham tart using the same filling.
-
Make ahead: Assemble pastries and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking.
I can also generate an image of these puff pastries — golden, flaky, filled with mushrooms and ham, with melted cheese peeking out. Do you want me to do that?
