Mushroom Filled Pastries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. For filling, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in cream cheese until melted; remove from heat., Unfold one pastry sheet; cut into 9 squares. Cut each square diagonally in half. Place a scant teaspoon of filling on one half of each triangle. Brush edges of pastry with water; fold over to form a triangle. Seal edges with a fork; place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with second pastry sheet and remaining filling., Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked triangles on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a freezer conatiner; return to freezer. To use, bake as directed.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup of butter until well blended. Mix in the flour until fully incorporated. Pat into a ball, and refrigerate while you make the filling.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and onion. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over everything so it won't get lumpy, then reduce the heat to low, and stir in the sour cream. Heat just until thickened, then remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch rounds. Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture on one side of each circle, then fold the dough over and press to seal. Prick the tops with a fork to vent steam, and place the pastries on a baking sheet. (They can also be frozen at this time until needed.)
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. If baking frozen turnovers, it may take an additional 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Place whole mushrooms in pan, stem side down; cook 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels., In same pan, saute pancetta over medium heat until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add chopped mushrooms; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add shallots and garlic; cook and stir until juices have evaporated, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt and pepper., On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry to a 15x12-in. rectangle. Cut 12 circles with a floured 3-in. round cookie cutter (save scraps for another use). Press each into a greased muffin cup; prick bottoms with a fork. Brush lightly with beaten egg., Fill whole mushrooms with cheese; place in pastry cups, cheese side up. Top with pancetta mixture. Bake until pastry is golden brown, 12-15 minutes., Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers. Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked pastries in muffin pan until firm. Transfer pastries to freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper; return to freezer. To use, place pastries in muffin pans; cover and thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bake as directed.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and fry until soft. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, season and cook for 5 mins until the mushrooms are soft. Stir in the parsley and cream. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease a 6-hole muffin tin with butter, then line each hole with a long thin strip of baking parchment. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and stamp out 6 x 10 cm circles. Press a circle into each hole to line. Roll out the remaining pastry (you may need to re-roll trimmings) and stamp out 6 x 8cm circles.
• Divide the mushroom mix between the pies. Brush the pastry edges with a little egg, top each with a pastry lid and carefully press the pastry edges together to seal.
• Brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden. Allow to cool in the tin slightly before serving, or cool on a wire rack and keep in airtight containers for up to 1 day. Reheat before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the mushroom juices have cooked out, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, stirring to mix well.
• Stir in sherry, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture is almost dry, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 400 minutes.
• Have an ungreased baking sheet ready. Separate biscuits and place them between two sheets of waxed paper severl inches apart. With a rolling pin, roll biscuits into 4 to 5 inch circles. Carefully remove the top sheet of wax paper.
• Using a heaping tablespoonful of filling, place slightly off-center on each circle. Carefully fold biscuits over, making a half-circle and stretching the dough gently over the filling. Crimp the edges together with a fork. Place pastries on baking sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.
