Russian Piroshkis

1/2 Pound Lean Ground Beef	2 Hard-Cooked Eggs, Chopped
1 Medium Onion, Chopped	Pepper To Taste
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced Or Pressed	1 10-Oz Package Frozen Patty
1/4 Pound Mushrooms, Chopped	-Shells, Thawed
3 1/2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce	1 Egg White, Slightly Beaten

Crumble and cook beef in 10-12 inch frying pan over medium heat until well browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes more or until onion is soft. Stir in soy, scraping to loosen brown bits. Remove from heat. Stir in eggs and pepper. Cool.

On a lightly floured board, roll each shell out to a 7-inch circle. Spoon 1/6 (about 1/2 cup) of meat mixture onto center. Moisten edges with egg white and with steam on top, pinch firmly to seal. Flute edge. Set on ungreased baking sheet. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 8 hours. Pierce tops in several places to allow steam to escape. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. Makes approximately 6 servings. A slice of cheddar cheese may also be added to pastries.

"I had these at a Russian restaurant one time.  They have a unique taste, and we were glad to find this recipe.  The borscht was good too, unfortunately we didn't get a recipe for that." - Calla Ferre
