1. Prepare the Filling

Begin by cleaning and slicing the assorted mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the shallots until translucent. Add the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until they are tender and golden brown. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, then pour in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer until the cream has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into two large circles of equal size, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
