    Prepare the puff pastry: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, gently score a border about 1 cm (0.4 inches) from the edge, but do not cut all the way through. Prick the inner area of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.

    The scoring will create a nice, raised crust edge for your pizza. Make sure to prick the inner area thoroughly.

    Assemble the pizza: Spread the cooled mushroom and onion mixture evenly over the inner, pricked area of the puff pastry, staying within the scored border. Top generously with the shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese.

    Leave a little space at the very edge of the scored border to allow the pastry to rise beautifully.

    Bake the pizza: Brush the scored edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg wash for a golden, glossy finish. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Keep an eye on the pizza during the last few minutes of baking to prevent the edges from burning. Ovens can vary.

    Serve: Carefully remove the mushroom pizza from the oven. Let it cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the cheese to set and makes it easier to cut.
