Take-out Tuesday, Everything Mushroom Pockets
We ended up having an impromptu
Kentucky Derby/Mother’s Day celebration on Saturday
It had been a busy day with a leaky pipe
causing it to rain in the Master bathroom a couple of days before…
Ever grateful to my talented son and his contracting skills,
He and his crew repaired the pipe, ceiling and all the damage
I suggested we order pizza to keep things easy
but next thing I knew
he went to the store and got groceries …
He came back with fresh shrimp and the ingredients
for our long time favorite Coconut Shrimp with Orange Marmalade Sauce
I looked through the fridge to see what was on hand
and spied a box of mushrooms and crescent roll dough…
I remembered a yummy recipe from the archives
Mushrooms with bacon, cream cheese and onion,
wrapped in crescent roll dough and baked
Cook the bacon in a skillet, then remove and drain
Add onions to drippings in pan and cook over medium
until the onions begin to caramelize, about 6-8 minutes
Toss in the minced garlic and stir
Push onions to the edge of the skillet and add mushrooms
Turn your skillet up to medium high so the mushrooms will brown
As your kitchen fills with this sweet aroma,
you will know this is going to taste amazing!
Now the fun begins!
Separate the dough into 4 rectangles and pinch edges to seal
Spread with cream cheese
Top with bacon
Then pile on mushrooms and onions
Place remaining dough rectangles on top
Pinch edges to seal
Go around the edges with a fork to crimp
and brush dough with a beaten egg
Sprinkle tops with sesame seeds, minced onion, poppy seeds
I used Everything Seasoning, it’s good on everything!
We were all wishing we were at the beach and this dinner
was almost like being there
A perfect pocket of savory delights!
Lots of ways to serve this
You could cut it in half like a sandwich
and serve a half with salad or soup
Cut into squares, they are great for appetizers…
Each rectangle yields 8 squares
They are delicious hot, but good at room temperature too….
If you have any leftover haha,
just keep in the fridge and reheat in the oven at 350~

Delicious, it would make a great little hand sandwich.
Thanks Bernadette, I love little bites like this!
Crescent rolls are amazing and make many wonderful recipes. So glad HHjr could fix the leak. The mushroom pockets looks delicious. I know you had an enjoyable Mother’s Day! Happy Monday, Jenna!
Thanks so much Pam, enjoy this beautiful week!
Don’t we love these little pockets of flavor!
yummy bites!
Wow. What a wonderful appetizer full of tasty mushrooms and other delicious flavors.
Thanks, so easy too!
Those look delicious!! Now I am hungry. Good thing that mushrooms are on my list to get at the store today, adding crescent rolls.
Thanks Carole, mushrooms are good so many ways!
I can’t tell you how glad I am (and how envious, too!) that you have a resident contractor! Or semi-resident! What a huge relief. And those look just so delish!
Yes, it’s awesome to have a son that can fix just about anything! My son in law owns an HVAC company which also comes in handy!
Those pockets look absolutely droolworthy!
Thank you Angie 🙂
YUMMY! I love anything with mushrooms, I try to always keep crescent rolls or canned biscuits on hand as there is so much that we can make with them. So glad you have a talented son to help Jenna. My mercy! Not only can that be expensive but such a pain! Hope your week is wonderful to you dear lady. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, I always have cans of rolls and biscuits in my fridge, handy stuff! Having a contractor for a son is indeed handy, plus he has great connections with all kinds of other contractors so I always get special treatment!
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about. Better than ordering pizza any day!
Thanks Leslie Anne, good stuff!
Your son must have endless energy. After the days you survived with the damage and construction, I would have opted for pizza, but I’m sure what you cooked up was much better!
He really does, never sits still! Plus he’s used to little emergencies, with 2 houses, there is always something!
Those mushroom pockets sound like a yummy treat. Thanks for sharing the recipe to make them Jenna.
Thanks Julie, there are so many things you can do with both mushrooms and crescent rolls, and this is a tasty treat!
Your son is a wonderful hero, Jenna! I know you appreciate all that he does. That meal is calling my name! Thank you for sharing it. I hope you have a wonderful week without any issues!
haha, your words to God’s ears Kitty, there are many days when I wake up thinking, please let there be no challenges today 😂 but, I am truly blessed, my son can fix just about anything!
YUM, YUM! Love your mini gurgle pot!!
So happy to hear you have a handy son!! There is always something that needs repair, right?
Thanks Patti, and yes, there is always something, multiplied by 2!
Jenna, I know you know you are lucky to have a handy contractor/chef for a son! Glad your leak could be repaired. I would love a mushroom pocket! ♥
Never a dull moment around here Mary, and yes, I am very spoiled!
Such a great little appetizer. I love how impromptu you are. So creative for creating delicious meals. So glad your son is capable of repairing your leak. Happy upcoming weekend.
Thank you Linda, yes, it is certainly handy to have a repairman…and free too!
