Christine DeBoer says
Can these be made a few days ahead? Can they be frozen?
Dina says
Hi Christine, I would not recommend freezing them since mushrooms don’t freeze well. I would probably bake it a day ahead and reheat the following day.
Sadie says
Could I use Gruyère cheese instead of mozerella
Dina says
Hi 🙂 If you love gruyere cheese then yes it will work. If you are looking for a similar flavor cheese then it will not work since they taste different. Hope that helps. If you give it a try let me know how it goes! 🙂
Marion says
Can you prep this a day before baking it?
Dina says
Yes you can 🙂 Just keep it in the fridge wrapped in plastic so it doesn’t dry up.
rachel says
i’m planning to serve these tomorrow but i really wanted to try them ahead of time, so I baked up the bits i’d trimmed off the roll ends to even them out and they’re delicious!!!
we pulsed the mushrooms in the food processor to quickly get them really small & i always go a little heavy on seasoning so i added some italian seasoning and a bit of garlic and onion powder, and increased the fresh garlic to 5 cloves
i’ll definitely be making this again!
Dina says
Thank you for the awesome recipe review Rachel! I am so glad you loved it! 🙂
Mar says
Can these be enjoyed cold/room temp?
Dina says
Hi 🙂 Warm and fresh is always best but yes these can be enjoyed at room temperature. I hope you love this recipe! 🙂
Larry says
The recipe is for 20 pinwheels. You say to roll up the two puff pastry sheets from the long (16-inch) sides, then cut into one-inch pinwheels. Shouldn’t you end up with more like 32 appetizers, or am I doing something wrong?
Dina says
Hi Larry, that’s a great question! You are correct, it should come out to about 32 appetizers. I just fixed the error. Thank you fro bringing that to my attention.
Hester Harding says
Can these be frozen before cooking?
Dina says
Hi Hester, I am not too sure how the mushrooms will thaw after being frozen. If it weren’t for the mushrooms, I know this would freeze really well. But I do think that the mushrooms might let off some unwanted liquid if you try to thaw them after freezing.
Lori says
I freeze uncooked puff pastry mushroom turnovers all the time..no problem …
Don’t defrost cook frozen
Susan says
Can these mushroom pin wheels be frozen then reheated plz?
Dina says
Hi Susan, yes you can freeze them after they are baked. Make sure they are thoroughly cooled before placing them in an airtight container bag and into the freezer. Thaw at room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
Jane says
You mentioned in the recipe to roll out the puff pastry sheets but they are already paper thin. Did you mean to use Crescent rolls instead?
Dina says
Hi Jane, I am not too sure what type of puff pastry sheets you purchased. I used the pepperidge farm brand and they had some room to spread without being too thin.
Lorraine says
Jane you may be thinking philo dough and not puff pastry. Also thank you Dina for the great recipe.
Dina says
My pleasure Lorraine. Thank you so much for the kind feedback 🙂
Barb says
These are incredible! I made them with a blend of Baby Bellas, Shiitake & reconstituted Porcini (In Red Wine).
Dina says
Hi Barb 🙂 Happy to hear you loved this mushroom appetizer! Always ok to substitute 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Irene says
Made this for friends last night and all loved❣️❣️ Only had 6oz of mushrooms so only used one puff pastry sheet.
Dina says
Thank you for the kind feedback, Irene. I am so glad that you and your friends enjoyed this recipe!
Dana says
Can you freeze these uncooked?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Dana, I’m not too sure since I’ve never tried freezing them uncooked before.
Stacey says
Hi, these look fantastic.
I’m making them for a dinner party, and wonder if l can freeze any leftovers.
Thanks Stacey
simplyhomecooked says
Thank you Stacey! I have never tried freezing them but I think they should freeze well 🙂
Janet McBridep says
Delicious!
simplyhomecooked says
Thank you, Janet!
Loretta says
Delicious, thanks.
simplyhomecooked says
Thank you so much Loretta!
Jaqueline scheub says
Is it possible to sauté the onions and mushrooms the day before to save on time? Do I need to drain all the juices off?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Jaqueline, yes you can saute the onions and mushrooms the day before. No you don’t have to drain the juices, there should not be much juices left after you saute it. To save more time you can prepare the whole roll ahead of time and just cover it in the fridge. Then the next day just cut the roll in pieces and bake. I hope you enjoy this recipel 🙂
Ruth Michelin says
This sounds so good cant wait to make them. After reading everything I am just wondering when I roll out the dough and spread the mushroom and cheese on both am I to roll them together or separate Probably a stupid question but just want to make sure I understand .Love your reiepes
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Ruth, I am so glad to hear you enjoy my recipes, thank you for your feedback! Don’t worry, not a dumb question 🙂 You will want to roll them separately. I hope you enjoy this recipe as well 🙂
Sarah says
Looks really good..how long will it stay on room temp?Going for a four day road trip.
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Sarah, if you keep them in an airtight container, they should be good at room temperature for about 3 days.
