- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium-high heat, then add the onion and cook for 5 mins. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 6-8 mins, stirring, until golden. Add the garlic and thyme; cook for 1 min. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix the ricotta, most of the egg (set 1 tbsp aside) and hard cheese in a bowl. Stir in the mushroom mixture; season.
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Roll the pastry out to a rectangle (30 x 40cm). Use a 10cm round cutter to cut 12 circles and place on the sheet.
- Put 1 tbsp of ricotta mix in the centre of each circle; brush the edges with egg and fold in half. Pinch the join to seal; brush with egg. Bake for 20 mins, or until golden. Serve with a babyleaf salad.
