Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 ounces cream cheese
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 8 ounces white button mushrooms
• 1 medium shallot
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the cream cheese until smooth.

Step 2

Gradually add in the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

While the dough chills, finely chop the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic.

Step 4

Heat olive oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the mushrooms, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the mixture is dry.

Step 6

Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, then remove the mixture from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles using a round cutter.

Step 9

Place about 1 teaspoon of the mushroom filling in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half to form a crescent shape, then press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash.

Step 11

Arrange the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
