Sausage and Mushroom Pizza Pockets
Ingredients
  • 8
    ounces bulk hot or mild Italian sausage
  • 3/4
    cup chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2
    8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4
    cup finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2
    13.8 ounce package refrigerated pizza dough (2 crusts)
  • 1
    egg, lightly beaten
  • 1
    tablespoon water
  • Finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Pizza sauce, warmed (optional)
Directions

1. In a medium skillet, cook sausage and mushrooms until sausage is brown, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off fat; cool slightly.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese and the 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir in sausage mixture.

3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease two large baking sheets; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, unroll each package of pizza dough. If necessary, gently stretch each dough piece into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle into twelve 3-inch squares. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage-cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold dough over sausage-cheese mixture, forming triangles. Press the triangle edges with the tines of a fork to seal. Place the triangle pockets on the prepared baking sheets. Prick each top a few times with the fork tines.

4. In a small bowl, stir together egg and water. Brush tops of pockets with egg mixture, and if desired, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Bake about 12 minutes or until pockets are golden. Serve warm. If desired, serve with pizza sauce. Makes 24 pockets.

These were delicious! I did make some changes though. I added 1/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup crumbled feta. I also used refrigerated biscuits instead of pizza dough. There were 10 biscuits in the package but I split them in half with my fingers, pressed them into 3 inch circles. Because they were biscuits, I baked them at 350 for 14 minutes and they came out perfectly.
