Mushroom Turnovers with Cream Cheese Pastry are savory, flaky pastries filled with a rich mushroom mixture. The buttery cream cheese dough makes them extra tender, making these turnovers ideal for appetizers, party snacks, or light lunches.

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  3. 4 oz cream cheese, cold
  4. 1/4 tsp salt
  5. 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
  6. 1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped
  7. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  8. 8 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
  9. 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
  10. Salt and pepper, to taste
  11. 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, butter, and cream cheese. Pulse or mix until dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until browned and moisture has evaporated. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. On a floured surface, roll out chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles or squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of mushroom filling in the center of each piece. Fold over and seal edges with a fork.
  5. Place turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  1. Dough can be made 1–2 days in advance and refrigerated.
  2. Do not skip cooking the filling—it prevents soggy pastry.
  3. To make vegan, use dairy-free alternatives and skip the egg wash.
  4. Freeze unbaked turnovers and bake from frozen when needed.
  5. Add cheese or herbs to the filling for variation.
