Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 115 grams cream cheese
• 130 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 200 grams mushrooms, finely chopped
• 0.5 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 60 grams cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, beat together 115 grams of unsalted butter and 115 grams of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Add 130 grams of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 200 grams of finely chopped mushrooms, 0.5 finely chopped onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in 60 grams of softened cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley. Season with 0.25 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of pepper. Mix well, remove from heat, and let the filling cool completely.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thick. Cut out circles approximately 7.5cm (3 inches) in diameter using a cookie cutter or glass.

Step 8

Place a teaspoon of the mushroom filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 9

Brush the turnovers with the beaten egg wash to give them a shiny, golden finish.

Step 10

Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
