Cheesy Shiitake Mushroom Crescent Roll

Craving for a rich and freshly baked tasty twist? A perfect Thanksgiving cheesy savory appetizer wrapped in Pillsbury's flaky crescent roll. 


Flakey buttery goodness with Indian spiced mushrooms and melted cheese is mouth-watering. This dish can be a quick last minute addition to any party. It's a semi-home made recipe, where the stuffing can be made ahead of time and freshly baked with the readily available crescent roll dough. The French pastry bread or dinner roll is usually shaped up in a unique crescent shape, but I have mine rolled and covered completely for the stuffing to stay intact to look like a bundle. 

These crescent rolls were transformed into a large Cornucopia using a cone shape aluminum foil and baked it longer until it turned crisp. This cornucopia was filled with fresh fruits for our previous Thanksgiving Feast.

directionS

Stuffing:

1. To make the Shiitake mushroom stuffing, in a saucepan/ kadai heat couple of teaspoons of oil in medium heat. Add the onions and ginger and garlic paste saute until golden brown.


2. Now add the sliced mushrooms , required salt, cumin powder, garam masala, chilly powder and coriander powder. Continue cooking for close to 7-8 mins. 



3. Once done, garnish with coriander leaves and remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Assembly and baking:

1.Preheat oven to 375°F. Open the can as per the direction stated. Unroll the dough and separate into 8 triangles. 


 2. Place a small cheese slice or shredded cheese of your choice. Top it with approximately 2 teaspoons of prepared mushroom stuffing (as mentioned above) on the wider edge of the triangle dough.


3. Roll up to the narrow end (opposite point). The side of the rolls can be closed and wrapped completely to prevent the cheese from leakage.


4. Place rolls on cookie sheets leaving enough space to raise and fluff. I like to line my sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. 


5. Bake at 375°F for 10- 12 minutes or until light golden color. Remove from cookie sheet and serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese with just the right amount of spice to this fluffy dinner roll.

NOTES AND TIPS
1. Keep the Pillsbury crescent rolls refrigerated until your ready to bake. Keeping it at room temperature causes the dough to loosen its firmness which is difficult to roll.

2. Don't forget to cool your stuffing before you remove the dough from the refrigerator. 

3. If you do not prefer masalas in your stuffing, u may simply add Spanish, cheese and garlic powder and season with fresh ground pepper. 

4. The bake time varies according to the construction of your oven and its settings.
