It's actually nice that there were several stages to making it, because my oven took it's obligatory 1+ hours to get to 400 degrees. I finally let my apartment manager know about it. Hopefully I get a new one soon.
So I got it out of the oven and I was excited because it looked great.
But when I cut it, it fell apart. I am not sure why. Maybe I didn't let it rest long enough... maybe I didn't get enough moisture out of the mushrooms... I'm open to suggestions as to what might have done it. The puff pastry was amzing on top and sloppy, soggy, on the bottom.
There was nothing really photpgraphing at that point, so I didn't. I kind of regret not taking a picture of the mess though, because this blog is about failure as much as it is about success. I try to keep it light hearted and not so serious, and it looked pretty funny.
I decided to take a picture of the end piece that wasn't bad. Doesn't look as nice a Chef Ramsay's but I guess I am not Chef Ramsay.
Despite how it looked, it tasted great overall. As I learn to cook I am also trying to expand my palette. This is crazy... but it's the first time I've ever eaten mushrooms. They tasted OK, but I didn't like them a whole lot.
