\ud83d\udd2a Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare the Mushroom Filling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and saut\u00e9 until they release their liquid and become nicely browned (about 5\u20137 minutes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stir in the fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Make the Meatloaf Mixture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup\/tomato paste, mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix<\/strong>, as this makes the meatloaf tough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      3. Assemble the Loaf<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a rectangular log approximately the length of the pastry sheet, and place it in the center of the pastry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Spread the cooled mushroom mixture evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        4. Wrap and Seal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Cut diagonal slits (about 1 inch apart) into the pastry dough along the two long sides of the meatloaf (leaving the center strip intact).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Fold the ends of the pastry up over the meatloaf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Starting at one end, tightly fold the strips over the loaf in an alternating, crisscross pattern (like a braid) until the meatloaf is completely sealed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Brush the entire surface of the pastry with the prepared egg wash<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          5. Bake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Carefully transfer the wrapped loaf to the prepared baking sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Bake for 45\u201355 minutes<\/strong>, or until the puff pastry is deep golden brown and the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches $160^\\circ\\text{F}$ ($71^\\circ\\text{C}$).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. If the pastry starts browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            6. Rest and Serve<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest on the baking sheet for 10\u201315 minutes<\/strong> before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the loaf moist.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Enjoy your highly-coveted, crowd-pleasing meatloaf!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
