Preparation:
- Start by gathering your ingredients.

Cooking the Mushroom Mixture:
- Finely chop the onion and mushrooms.
- In a frying pan, melt the butter and margarine over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and mushrooms to the pan.
- Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.

Preparing the Bread:
- While the mushroom mixture is cooling, remove the crusts from the slices of bread.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out each slice of bread until flattened.
-
Assembly:
- Once the mushroom mixture has cooled, spread it evenly onto each slice of flattened bread.
- For elegant hors d’oeuvres, roll up each slice of bread with the mushroom mixture inside, jelly roll fashion.
- Brush the top of each turnover with melted butter for a golden finish.

Freezing (Optional):

Baking:
