Dilled Mushroom Turnovers

  Appetizers

My bite-sized mushroom pastries are hard to resist. For parties, I prep and freeze them ahead, then pop them in the oven when guests are on the way.

Dilled Mushroom Turnovers

Average Rating: 5

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 1 hour + chilling Bake: 15 min./batch
YIELD: about 5 dozen.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • FILLING:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh dill
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat flour into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream, flour, salt and dill. Cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut circles with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Place about 1 teaspoon filling on one side of each. Brush edges with egg; fold dough over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal.
  • 4. Place on ungreased baking sheets; brush egg over tops. Bake until edges are golden brown, 12-14 minutes.

    To Make Ahead:
    Dough can be made 2 days in advance.
    Freeze Option:
    Cover and freeze unbaked turnovers on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to freezer containers; cover and return to freezer. To use, bake turnovers as directed, increasing time by 2-3 minutes.
