Ingredients
Instructions
- Mince the canned mushrooms.
- Combine the minced mushrooms with the cream cheese and seasoned salt.
- Divide the crescent roll dough into 4 rectangles.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each rectangle.
- Roll up each rectangle lengthwise into a log.
- Cut each rolled-up rectangle into 4 equal pieces.
- Brush the tops of the cut pieces lightly with beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with poppy seed if desired.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until light golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh sautéed mushrooms instead of canned. You can also substitute the cream cheese with a soft cheese like goat cheese for a tangy twist. If you want to add a bit of heat, mix in some diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture. If you're short on time, pre-made puff pastry can be used instead of crescent rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These Mushroom Cream Cheese Hors D'Oeuvres make a delightful appetizer for gatherings or parties. Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or alongside a fresh salad. They also pair beautifully with a glass of white wine or a light beer. For a complete meal, consider serving them as a side with Creole Rice.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover hors d'oeuvres in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. This helps retain their crispiness, unlike microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these hors d'oeuvres ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cream cheese mixture and assemble the rolls a day in advance. Just store the unbaked rolls in the refrigerator and bake them when you're ready to serve. This makes them a convenient option for entertaining.
What can I use instead of crescent rolls?
If you don't have crescent rolls, you can use puff pastry or even phyllo dough for a flakier texture. Just be sure to adjust the baking time according to the dough you choose, as different types may require different cooking times.
Can I freeze these hors d'oeuvres?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked rolls. Just place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
