Recipe Steps
You Will Need
Olive Oil Salt Pepper Cooking Spray
1 Baking Sheet 1 Mixing Bowl 1 Medium Non-Stick Pan
Before You Cook
Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry

Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray

Refrigerate puff pastry until ready to use

Step 1 - Bake the Puff Pastry
1
Bake the Puff Pastry
Remove any paper between sheets of puff pastry squares. Place puff pastry squares on prepared baking sheet and bake in hot oven until puffed and golden brown, 7-9 minutes. Carefully, remove puff pastry squares from baking sheet and let cool. When cool enough to handle, carefully cut a circle out of pastry's top, leaving bottom whole. Circle doesn't have to be perfect. Replace foil on baking sheet, spray again with cooking spray, and reserve. While pastry bakes, prepare ingredients.

Place carrot on reserved baking sheet. Toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Massage oil into carrots. Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven until tender, 15-18 minutes. While carrots roast, prepare burgers.

Make the Burgers
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, shallot, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Form into two equal-size patties, about 4" in diameter. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add patties to hot pan. Cook until patties reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side. Remove from burner. Remove burgers to a plate and tent with foil. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

Step 5 - Make the Mushroom Sauce

Make the Mushroom Sauce

Add mushrooms to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes Add cornstarch mixture, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to pan and bring to boil. Cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, placing burger in puff pastry and pouring mushrooms sauce on top.
