These mushroom pastries were created from Le Ménagier de Paris a late 14th Century French household guide. Using the original recipe, translated to English, I veganized it. Below is the original translation:
Mushrooms one night old are the best. They are little and red inside, closed at the top. Peel them and wash them in hot water and boil. If you want to put them in a pasty, add oil, cheese, and powdered spices. Item, set them them between two dishes on the coals and then add a little salt, cheese, and powedered spices. They are found at the end of May and in June.
