Heat butter in skillet. Chop mushrooms, coarsely and saute with thyme, salt and pepper until soft. Remove to food processor and chop coarsely. Transfer to mixing bowl. Add cheese and egg.
Place a heaping tablespoon filling in center of each pastry square. Fold into a triangle and crimp edges with a fork. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and top with a little cheese.
