2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 cup half-and-half cream
2 pkg refrigerator crescent dough

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet. Add mushrooms, lemon juice and onions and sauté until soft.
  2. Push mixture to one side of the pan and add flour to the juices. Add cream, salt and pepper, stirring and drawing in the mushroom mixture; continue stirring until thickened. Refrigerate until cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F.
