Yes, another challenge. :) Can I make 1 6oz filet mignon feed 8 people, well? Yes, I can! I listed these as appetizers, but, to be honest, if you serve them with a nice green veggie and a starch side, they could easily be a dinner entree.
Ingredients
- 1 6oz filet mignon(no bacon) shopping list
- 8 slices prosciutto shopping list
- 8 large mushrooms caps, no stems(I wouldn't use portabellos, here, as their shape doesn't lend quite as well to this application) shopping list
- 8oz semi soft white cheese, room temperature(fontina, brie, creamy havarti, etc work great, here) shopping list
- 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed, but cool shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Sprinkle mushroom caps lightly with salt and pepper
- Cut filet into 8 equal chunks. See Photo
- Wrap each one in a piece of prosciutto See Photo
- Mold cheese around each piece, then place each in it's own mushroom cap. See Photo
- Roll sheet of puff pastry out to create about an 8X8 square, then cut into 4 equal squares. See Photo
- Place 1 stuffed mushroom into the middle of each square and raise corners to meet in the middle. See Photo
- Press all open edges together VERY well, leaving just a tiny spot at the top, where the corners meet, for air to escape.
- Repeat with remaining mushrooms and puff pastry sheet.
- Brush tops very lightly with an egg wash or melted butter, if desired.
- Bake at 400(make sure oven has reached temperature before starting to bake) for 17-20 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- These aren't hand held, pop in your mouth appetizers, you'll want to serve them with a knife and fork! :)
