2 tbsp water

2 yellow potatoes

3. Once the mushroom mixture is softened, add salt, then set aside to cool.

5. Add your cooled mushroom mixture to the puff pastry and then add the filet.

6. Close the puff pastry around the filet and brush with egg and water mixture.

7. Roast in 400-degree oven for 15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
