But traditionally they are fried in a frying pan with finely chopped onions or cut into neat half rings. Salt is also required. To add hot or spicy notes, use garlic cloves, freshly ground black pepper or fresh herbs. To add richness to the taste, you can take “mushroom” spices: nutmeg, rosemary, oregano and fragrant thyme.

Previously, mushrooms were the most common product for villagers. They were collected and stored for the winter in huge quantities (if the terrain allowed). Today they are strongly associated with celebration, prosperity, and even chic. Therefore, mushroom filling is an excellent option for preparing a wide variety of dishes.

Fresh, pickled, dried mushrooms

This is a unique product that is good in any form. Fresh mushrooms can be boiled or fried. Salted or pickled, they are good on their own. You need to soak it in water for a day and then boil it lightly. Then they can be cooked as fresh. In any case, you will get a wonderful mushroom filling that can decorate any dish.

Tartlets - a delicious snack

The base for the tartlet can be baked from shortbread or potato dough, or simply bought in a store and filled to your liking. Mushroom filling is very suitable for these purposes. The easiest option is to fry fresh mushrooms and onions in butter. You will need 300 g of mushrooms and 1 onion. When the vegetables are fried, add finely chopped whites of three boiled eggs and 100 g of mayonnaise. Mix well, place in tartlets and sprinkle with grated yolk.

You can diversify the taste of the snack with tomatoes and cheese. For this you need mushroom filling (fry 500 g of champignons with one onion). To it should be added 100 g of grated cheese and mayonnaise. This quantity is for 10 tartlets. Apart from this, take 5 cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Place the filling in each dough mold and add the tomato on top.

Tartlets with mushroom filling can become the main highlight of your table. Try the creamy version as well; your guests will definitely appreciate it. To do this, you need to finely chop 1 kg of champignons and 1 onion. Then fry the ingredients in a frying pan, add salt, basil and cream (100 ml). Boil to a thick cream. Add 200 g of grated cheese. All that remains is to put it in the dough molds and put it in a hot oven for a few minutes.

Julienne is another great option if you want to make mushroom filled tartlets. To do this, fry 300 g of champignons with one onion. Separately, you need to prepare the Bechamel sauce. To do this, melt a tablespoon of butter, add a tablespoon of flour, pour in 100 ml of milk and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly so that lumps do not form. Next, you can arrange the mushrooms into tartlets, pour over the sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese (70 g). Now all that remains is to brown them in the oven.

Delicious pies

Mushroom filling for pies can be used independently or supplemented with other ingredients. For example, a mixed filling of fried cabbage and honey mushrooms turns out well. For this you will need 400 g of cabbage and 200 g of salted or 400 g of fresh mushrooms. First, fry the onions, add the mushrooms, and then the cabbage. Simmer until done, then open the lid to allow the liquid to evaporate.

But the easiest way is to prepare the classic filling: fry 500 g of any mushrooms and 2 finely chopped onions. Two minutes before readiness, add creamy curry, paprika or other spices. This option is good for open and closed pies made from yeast or butter dough. You can also add potatoes or boiled rice to the mushrooms.

Also, many will like the mushroom filling for pies, prepared as follows. Onions (1 piece) and mushrooms (600 g) should be fried, add 0.5 cups of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir and add to baked goods.

You can use not only fresh mushrooms, but also salted ones. To do this, you need to wash them and, if they are too salty, then soak them. Then cook as usual. Their dried mushrooms also make an excellent pie filling. They just need to be soaked in water overnight, boiled, and then stewed with onions.

Mushroom filling for pies

The basis, as usual, is mushrooms fried with onions. But various additives are often used. This could be mashed potatoes, fried cabbage, buckwheat porridge, boiled eggs. The pies themselves, as a rule, are made from classic yeast dough. Whatever option you choose for filling with mushrooms, you will be pleased with the result.

Cutlets and rolls

Such a seemingly everyday dish can appear in a completely different light. Cutlets with mushroom filling come out very well from minced chicken. To do this, take 700 g of minced meat, add salt, bread soaked in milk, and spices. You can prepare the filling at the same time. To do this, cut the mushrooms and one onion into pieces, fry in a frying pan until tender. Now divide the minced meat into small balls, add a spoonful of mushrooms inside, gently pinch and roll in breadcrumbs. Fry in sunflower oil.

If you don't like meat or avoid foods fried in oil, there are other options for preparing cutlets. So, instead of chicken, you can use minced potatoes. It is done as follows: boil the potatoes, mash them into a puree, add butter and milk. Form small balls from this mass, knead them into a flat cake, put fried mushrooms inside and pinch. Then roll them in breadcrumbs and fry in oil. You can also bake the cutlets in the oven.

Another great dish with mushroom filling can be meat rolls. Let's figure out how to prepare them. First you need to take a whole chicken and remove the skin from it. Then separate the meat from the bones and make minced meat. Separately, fry the onion in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and simmer until tender. Assembling the roll: lay the skin on the table, spread the meat over it in an even layer, and prepare the mushrooms on top. If desired, you can add spices. Wrap it in a roll, secure with thread and bake in the oven until golden brown.

Pancakes with mushrooms

Mushroom filling also goes well with delicate baked goods. Oyster mushrooms and chanterelles are best suited for pancakes. Bake the pancakes in advance, and then get to the filling. To do this, fry the onion in a frying pan and add mushrooms. Simmer until done. Now place a spoonful of mushrooms in each pancake, sprinkle with grated cheese and wrap in an envelope. Before eating, the pancake is fried in a frying pan with butter on both sides.

Stuffed cabbage rolls with mushrooms

This dish is somewhat unusual, but tasty. Mushroom filling goes very well with cabbage. Any mushrooms that are available will do. They need to be fried together with smoked bacon. At the end of cooking, add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste and half a glass of crumbly rice porridge. Then the dish is prepared as usual. 8-10 cabbage leaves are lightly boiled, and a hard core is cut out from the middle. The filling is laid out on the leaves and each of them is wrapped tightly. Now the cabbage rolls need to be fried in oil, then transferred to a saucepan and simmered. Before the end of stewing, you can add 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream.

Let's sum it up

The mushroom filling is a real lifesaver. It can improve almost any dish, become a great addition in a duet with meat or vegetables, and also play a wonderful solo, becoming the full-fledged core of aromatic pies, the most delicate pancakes and exquisite tartlets. Surely you can come up with other options where the mushroom filling will show itself worthy. Don’t be afraid to get creative, and your kitchen will always have varied and delicious dishes.

Before describing the recipe, I would like to talk a little about yeast, or more precisely about dry yeast.
You can find several types on sale, most often instant yeast and simple granular ones.
Instant yeast can be immediately mixed with flour and it immediately begins to “work”. But simple, granular ones, for example, from Dr. Oetker, are advised to be activated first. Therefore, in any recipe using dry yeast, you need to focus on its characteristics when kneading the dough.
I like Dr. Oetker's products and that's why I use this dry yeast in my recipes.

Well, let's start by activating the yeast, i.e. Let's get them into working order.
To do this, add sugar and yeast to warm water (about 37 degrees). Mix thoroughly with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cover with a towel (yeast likes the dark) and leave for 10 minutes.


After the allotted time, a rich foam cap forms on the surface - the yeast has “come to life” and is ready to prepare the dough.
Now you can safely add salt and vegetable oil, mix everything together a little for homogeneity.
Now stir in the flour, be sure to sift it.
First, add half the norm and mix - the dough looks like a sticky, watery mass.
Then gradually add the rest.

When (in your opinion) you can knead with your hands, place the dough on the work surface and continue kneading, adding a little flour if necessary. By the way, all the flour may not go away (at least this happened to me), just watch the condition of your dough - it should turn out to be quite plastic, but not sticking to your hands and the surface.


Then transfer it to a large bowl for rising, while covering it with a thick towel (lid).


The dough will rise for about 1-1.5 hours, it should increase in size by at least twice.


In the meantime, the dough reaches the desired condition, we work further - prepare the mushroom filling.
This is probably the simplest filling for pies - onions and mushrooms.

You can take absolutely any mushrooms - champignons, for example, are sold all year round these days. This time I have forest ones - from summer harvesting. They were carefully sorted, boiled a little and frozen. All I had to do was just take them out of the freezer first to thaw.

Now everything is quite simple: peel the onion and chop it, if possible, finely.


Also chop the mushrooms into small pieces.
Next, in a well-heated frying pan, first fry the onion until softened and lightly golden.
And then add the mushrooms and fry until the liquid has completely evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The filling should be as dry as possible so that when baking the dough does not remain, as they say, gummy.
Transfer the mushrooms fried with onions to a bowl until completely cooled.

But when it cools down, you can add a handful of chopped dill (this way it won’t darken, but will retain its color) and mix.


Now that the filling has cooled and the dough has risen, it’s time to form the pies.
You can do it in the usual way, i.e. Divide the dough into equal portions, flatten it a little, place the filling in the center and then pinch the edges.
But it can be done differently, which I’ll show you now.
Roll out the dough into a flat layer, not thin, about 0.5 centimeters thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 equal sections. In each, in the middle (sharp) part, make several cuts. By the way, to prevent the dough from creasing, it is very convenient to do this with a pizza cutting wheel.
