    Recipe Introduction


    These were very, very popular at a recent party. Even after they cooled down. The dough is not the easiest to deal with - a little sticky - keep it cool and use plastic wrap or parchment paper to roll it out. Worth the hard work, though. Use the mushrooms you like - I have good results with half shitakes (caps only) and half crimini.


    List of Ingredients


    • CRUST:
    • 8 oz. cream cheese - room temperature
    • 1/2 c. butter - room temperature
    • 1 1/2 c. flour
    • FILLING:
    • 3 T. butter
    • 1 onion - very finely minced
    • 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms - VERY finely minced
    • 1/4 t. dried thyme
    • pinch of salt
    • 2 T. flour
    • 1/4 c. sour cream


    Instructions


    1. CRUST: Cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add the flour a bit at a time, mixing well after each addition. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
    2. FILLING: Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Add onion and saute until light brown. Add the mushrooms, and saute until they begin to soften. Add salt and thyme; sprinkle in flour. Stir. Mix in the sour cream. Stir and cook gently until the mixture has thickened, about 8 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Remove from the heat and cool.
    3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/8" thickness. Cut into rounds using a cookie cutter or the top of a glass. Place a dab of the mushroom filling in the middle of each round and fold each in half to form a semi-circle. Press edges together with a fork. Also with a fork, prick the top of each turnover, so the steam can escape. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown.
