  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 turnovers

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chopped mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or Gruyère)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until tender and browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Mix in the grated cheese for added richness.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet. Cut into squares approximately 4 inches across.
  6. Place a spoonful of mushroom filling in the center of each square.
  7. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangle, sealing the edges.
  8. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mushroom filling.
  • Ensure the filling is cooled before sealing to prevent sogginess.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry evenly for uniform turnovers.
