Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add the broccoli, mushrooms (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking another 5-10 minutes or until the broccoli begins to char. Add the garlic, thyme, nutmeg, and cayenne, cook another minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream cheese, 1 C. cheddar, and Havarti cheese. Lay the pastry sheets flat on a clean, floured surface. Gently roll the sheets out to stretch slightly. Cut each sheet into 9 squares. Evenly divide the broccoli filling among half of the squares, leaving a 1\/4 inch border around the edges. Brush the edges with egg. Lay the remaining 9 squares over the filling and seal the edges by crimping with the back of a fork.  Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with beaten egg. Make 2 small slits on the top of the pastries. Sprinkle with the remaining 1\/2 C. cheddar cheese and the everything spice, if desired. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, topped with additional thyme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Servings: 9<br \/>\nServing Size: 1 mini pie<\/p>\n<p>Calories: 474<br \/>\nFat: 35 g<br \/>\nFiber: 2 g<br \/>\nProtein: 12 g<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flaky Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mini Pies &nbsp; 2 T. extra virgin olive oil 1 small yellow onion, chopped kosher salt and black pepper 3 C. roughly chopped broccoli florets 1 C. cremini mushrooms, chopped (optional) 1 clove garlic, minced or grated 2 T. fresh thyme leaves 1\/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1\/4-1\/2 tsp. cayenne pepper 2 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1\/2 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1\/2 C. shredded Havarti cheese 1 box frozen puff pastry, thawed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/?p=40922\"> Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,226,3],"tags":[122,119,135,125],"class_list":["post-40922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-appetizers-snacks","category-baked-goods","category-vegetables","tag-cheese","tag-herb","tag-nutritional-information-provided","tag-puff-pastry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40922"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50278,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40922\/revisions\/50278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
