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.
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!

Hi Dana, I’m not too sure since I’ve never tried freezing them uncooked before.

Thanks Stacey

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 🙂

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.
