Number Of Ingredients 15

PASTRY:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 large egg
2 teaspoons water

Steps:

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in flour until well blended. Shape pastry into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender. Stir in the sour cream, flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Remove from the heat; set aside. Cool thoroughly. Roll dough into 1-in. balls; place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten into 3-in. circles. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water; brush over pastry. Place about 1 teaspoon mushroom filling in the center of each circle. Fold pastry over and seal edges. Brush tops with remaining egg mixture. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
