Mini Filet Mignon en Croute

"As you consider your options for holiday-time hors d’oeuvres, we humbly ask you to also consider this: why not treat yourself? It’s the end of the year, and it’s time to celebrate, so why not just really go for it, you know? As you’re considering that, we’d like to add that the Trader Joe’s frozen section has a whole host of appetizer options with which to do so while still keeping well within your budget, exemplified most excellently by Trader Joe’s Mini Filet Mignon En Croute. These bite-sized, Wellingtons-in-miniature are made with tasty bits of beef tenderloin, covered in finely chopped, sautéed mushrooms and shallots (a.k.a duxelles), all wrapped up in an elegantly folded, egg-washed square of puff pastry. They cook easily, straight from the freezer, after which they make an effortlessly elegant addition to any holiday party grazing table, as well as an impressive accent on your guests’ plates during a big family feast. In addition to their refined qualities, they’re also just plain tasty: each bite starts with the buttery flakiness of the puff pastry, continues with the savory splendor of the mushroom duxelles, then ends with the terrifically tender Filet Mignon within. Yum. Treat yourself to a box, while supplies last. They’re in our freezers."
