Ingredients
Method
In food processor, pulse together mushrooms, shallot and garlic until finely chopped.
In nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook mushroom mixture, stirring occasionally, until shallot is softened, about 4 minutes. Add beef, 1/2 tsp of the thyme, the salt and pepper; cook, breaking up beef with spoon, until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Pour in wine; cook, stirring, until almost no liquid remains, about 3 minutes. Scrape into bowl; refrigerate until lukewarm, about 30 minutes.
On work surface, unroll 1 sheet of the pastry; cut into 16 squares. Press 1 square into bottom and up side of each of 16 mini muffin pan wells, leaving overhang. Repeat with remaining pastry. Spoon 1 tbsp of the beef mixture into each; top with pâté. Fold overhang over top of filling.
Whisk egg with 1 tbsp water; lightly brush over pastry. Sprinkle with remaining thyme. Bake in 425°F oven until golden, about 14 minutes. Run tip of knife around edges of pastry to release from pans. Serve warm.
