  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F, have a large cookie sheet ready.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

  • 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 rolling pin, roll into a 12-inch square.
  • Cut the pastry into thiry-six 2-inch squares.
  • Place 1/2 teaspoons of mushroom mixture in center of each square, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around.
  • Moisten edges with water.
  • Fold in half diagonally to make triangles.
  • Press edges with tines of a fork to seal in filling.
  • Brush tops lightly with beaten egg.
  • With a spatula, transfer pastries to ungreased cookie sheet.
