Mushroom Caramelized Onion And Cheese Calzones Recipes

MUSHROOM, CARAMELIZED ONION AND CHEESE CALZONES

Steps:

• Separate biscuits and place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 400F but do NOT cook biscuits yet.
• In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add onion. Saute for 10 minutes or until soft and golden. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until mushrooms are soft. Add basil, stir and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella and/or cheddar, parmesan cheese, pepper, salt and the egg white. (Save egg yolk in a small bowl or cup and set aside.) Stir in mushroom mixture.
• Stretch out a biscuit with your hands until it.
• 's about 4 inches wide. Place the biscuit in the palm of your hand and add about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the middle, avoiding the edges. Fold biscuit in half and pinch edges shut. Place on side on baking sheet and seal the edges with a fork. Repeat with the rest of the biscuits.
• Mix egg yolk with water and stir well. Brush each calzone with the egg yolk mixture. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping if you want to!

CARAMELIZED ONION AND MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread bread cubes in single layer on a large baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a large, heavy frying pan, melt the butter over medium high heat.
• When hot, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
• About 20 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the mushrooms and celery.
• Cook and stir until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Add this mixture to the bread cubes along with the parsley and tarragon.
• Add the stock to the pan you used to cook the onions, and bring to a boil scraping up any browned pieces.
• Add hot stock to the bread mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Mix in the eggs.
• Either stuff the turkey and bake as usual or butter a 13X9 pan and spoon stuffing into pan.
• Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
• I think this is better baked in a pan by itself than stuffed into the turkey-- but to each his own!
