Stir in cream cheese until melted; remove from heat., Unfold one pastry sheet; cut into 9 squares. Cut each square diagonally in half. Place a scant teaspoon of filling on one half of each triangle. Brush edges of pastry with water; fold over to form a triangle. Seal edges with a fork; place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with second pastry sheet and remaining filling., Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked triangles on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a freezer conatiner; return to freezer. To use, bake as directed.

SAUSAGE PHYLLO ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and keep nearby.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat, until the mushroom mixture is very tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the turkey, cream cheese, and Cheddar until well blended.
• Place 1 sheet of phyllo with the short side facing you on a work surface. (Cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.) Spray the phyllo sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Then fold it in half lengthwise and spray again. Place 1 heaping tablespoon filling in the center of the bottom end of the phyllo. Fold in the sides, then roll up from the bottom to completely enclose the filling (it should look like an egg roll). Place the roll, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, nonstick cooking spray, and filling to make a total of 16 rolls.
• Spray the rolls generously with nonstick cooking spray and bake until the rolls until lightly golden, about 20 minutes.

MUSHROOM CONSOMME WITH MORELS AND PASTRY "HATS"

Steps:

• Simmer white mushrooms, onions, water, and 1 tsp salt in a 6-qt stockpot, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours.
• Strain mushroom mixture through a large sieve lined with a damp paper towel into a large saucepan, pressing gently on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Mushroom mixture should yield about 4 cups consommé. (If less, add water; if too much, boil consommé until it is reduced to 4 cups.) Discard solids. Season consommé with salt and pepper.
• Pour boiling water over morels in a small bowl and soak until morels are softened, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer morels with a slotted spoon to a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Press on morels with back of spoon to remove liquid, then add liquid from morels to soaking liquid and reserve.
• Rinse morels to remove any grit, then transfer to a small saucepan and add Madeira. Simmer, covered, 5 minutes.
• Add morels and Madeira to consommé in saucepan. Let reserved soaking liquid settle, then slowly pour into consommé, being careful to leave last tablespoon (containing sediment) in bowl.
• Add chives to consommé and simmer, covered, 3 minutes, then chill, uncovered, until cold, about 1 hour.
• If pastry comes as 1 sheet, cut crosswise in half. Roll out each piece of pastry into a 13-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Chill on baking sheets until firm, about 1 hour.
• Cut out 3 rounds from each sheet of puff pastry using template. Brush any excess flour from both sides of pastry rounds. Brush tops with some of beaten egg. Chill pastry rounds on baking sheets until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Divide cold soup among bowls. (Do not chill soup in bowls.) Lightly beat yolk, then brush around edge and down side of each bowl (a 1/2-inch-wide strip). Working quickly, place each pastry round over a bowl and pull slightly so pastry is taut. Press edge down against side of bowl to seal tightly.
• When all bowls are covered with pastry, arrange in a large 4-sided sheet pan and bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

WILD MUSHROOM PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low and add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms reduce by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in cream. Remove from heat and allow mushroom mixture to cool. It will thicken as it cools.
• Unfold pastry sheet onto floured surface and lightly roll into a 12 x 15 inch square. Cut into eighteen 3 inch squares. Place a mounded teaspoon of mushroom filling in the center of each square. Fold pastry over filling to form a triangle. Pinch edges firmly together with a fork to seal.
• Bake 12 to 16 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM PHYLLO/PUFF PASTRY APPETIZERS

Steps:

• -Chop onions and fry in pan with butter and garlic oil (or just 4 garlic cloves). Cook onions until caramelized. -When softened add chopped mushrooms. -Wait until a lot of the water from the mushrooms is released before adding cream, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme. Make sure you taste your mixture to ensure proper seasoning. -Set mixture aside. -Open thawed but cold phyllo pastry or puff pastry. -For puff pastry, cut into 16 squares. Fill square with small amount of filling and seal edges. Brush top with egg wash (egg and water mixture). -For Phyllo use two sheets, cut them in four strips. Fill with a small amount of filling and then fold them on an angle to form a triangle, over and over (flag fold). Brush with melted butter. -Bake phyllo or puff pastry as directed on package ( for best baking results, bake on parchment paper)

"HIGH ROLLER" MUSHROOM PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the puff pastry into 60 even squares. Using a pastry brush, brush each square with the beaten egg. Place the squares on a greased sheet pan. Apply the black sesame seeds to the egg wash on top of the squares in different patterns to make them look like dice. Bake the puffs until golden brown about 12 minutes. Let the puffs cool. Cut the puffs in half horizontally for sandwiching.
• Clean and cut all the mushrooms. Heat a large saute pan. Add the cooking oil and saute mushrooms in small batches seasoning with garlic, shallots, salt and pepper. Spread sauteed mushrooms out onto a large tray and allow to cool. Chop the mushrooms and return them to the saute pan. Add the white wine and reduce until the liquid is almost completely evaporated. Add the cream and reduce again until thick.
• Place one scoop of mushroom mixture on the bottom layer of the puff pastry and then top with the other layer to form the sandwich.
