Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Mushroom Duxelles: Finely chop the mushrooms and shallots. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the mushrooms and shallots. Cook for 8-10 minutes until browned. Add thyme and splash of wine, then season and let cool.
  2. Sear Beef: Season tenderloin with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and rest, then slice into 12 pieces.
  3. Assemble Wellingtons: Roll out pastry and cut into squares. Layer with prosciutto, mushroom mixture, and beef, brushing with mustard before folding pastry over filling.
  4. Seal Pastry: Fold pastry over filling and seal edges using a fork or fingers. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush tops with egg wash and cut slits for steam. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  6. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Monitor closely to achieve perfect flaky look.
  7. Make Sauce: Blend Gorgonzola, cream, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  8. Serve: Let Wellingtons cool slightly. Plate and drizzle with sauce, garnishing with fresh thyme.
