Filet mignon in a crust Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 filet mignons (6-8 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and rolled out to 1/8 inch thickness
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Season the filets with salt and black pepper, then rub with olive oil and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix the dijon mustard, minced garlic, and fresh thyme together.
4. Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into four equal squares.
5. Spread a thin layer of the dijon mustard mixture on top of each filet mignon.
6. Place each filet mignon, mustard-side down, onto the center of each square of puff pastry.
7. Wrap the filets tightly in the puff pastry, pinching the seams to seal them completely. Trim any excess pastry.
8. Brush the outside of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
9. Place the wrapped filets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the filet mignon reaches 120-125°F for medium rare.
11. Let the filet mignons rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
