Unstack the trays, then place the uncovered pastry disks back into the oven until golden.
Heat oil in a large pan, then add the mushrooms and stir fry on high heat until golden brown around the edges, then add the thyme, garlic and spring onions and sauté until the onions have softened.
Add the flour, then stir to coat the mushrooms. Gradually add the milk while stirring, then leave to simmer for 1 minute until thickened.
Turn off the heat, then add the lemon zest, and juice, then stir in the cream cheese and season to taste.
To assemble, sprinkle the cottage cheese onto each puff pastry sheet, then top with the mushrooms, fresh basil leaves and spring onions.
Stack the layers on top of each other, then slice into wedges to serve.
