Great Filling ! They took a little longer to cook than it said. Next time I would make the rounds larger than 3" You cannot get much filling in them. In a hurry use refrigerated pie crust instead.

These were easy enough to make, but I froze the turnovers before baking. They turned out messy, leaky and sloppy. The filling had way too much liquid after freezing as the turnovers thawed in the oven. In addition, the dough seemed very thick. If trying it again, I'd roll out to 1/8 inch thickness rather than 1/4 inch. And if baking from frozen, I'd try upping the oven temp to 375 so maybe it would mitigate some of the extra liquid.

The crust was really light and flaky, but the filling was just too bland. If I make this again I'd add some more flavor to it somehow.

It sounded good on paper, but the filling was too sour; the combination of cheeses did not compliment the mushrooms, particularly the sweetness of the sliced portabellas I chose to use. This recipe is a little too time-consuming and messy for the unremarkable end result.

I was disappointed with these. Even my husband, who will scoff anything and everything said these were 'just alright.' I thought the filling was really bland, so I added 2 fat cloves of freshly-minced garlic. The cream cheese pastry was quite nice, but not worth the extra calories, in my opinion. I probably won't make these again, but thanks for the post.

I had some puff pastry to use up so I just made the filling. I added two cloves of garlic and some parmesen cheese (as I didn't have the cream cheese in the pastry). Also didn't add flour to the mixture - not sure why that is needed as the mushroom mixture was not lumpy at all? Anyway the results were very tasty. Next time I will try making the pastry.

These turned out great. I have never made anything like this before. And I found it to be very easy to make, even though it takes quite a while to prepare. But it was worth it. I baked for 20 mins. but I think they could still take another 5 or so. I will do them again. They were also very tender, just melts in your mouth. They are a great substitude for potatoes. Thank you Rachel

I'm a little biased because this was my mom's recipe, but it is fantastic. The dough is extremely easy to work with and I use it for other recipes, like mini sausage rolls.

These make wonderful appetizers! Though they're a little putzy to make, they're worth it. I brush the edges with some beaten egg for a better seal and also brush some on the tops. I bake them in a slightly hotter oven (400 degrees), too. Delicious!
