Method

Caramelize the onion in butter. Set it aside.
Fry the mushrooms (450 g1 lb) in butter until golden brown, with some parts crisp. Season with salt, pepper and thyme.
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the brie into 6 wedges, cutting off the white rind if you like. Cut the puff pastry into 6 squares.
Put a wedge of brie on each square and divide the onion and mushrooms on top.
Fold each square over along the diagonal to make a packet, sealing the edges with water. Brush with the egg if you like.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until well puffed and deep golden.
