Preparation:
Pastry Crust: In a food processor, blend butter and cream cheese. Mix in flour, salt until well blended. Form into a ball and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Press dough into mini muffin cups and place in freezer. Filling: Saute mushroom, onion, and butter for 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons heavy cream to pan and mix together.
Take pan off heat and add 1 egg yolk and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Fill frozen muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake another 10 minutes.
Note - this is one of my favorite appetizers. The crust is so easy to make - use a food processor and it comes together with no mess. You can make the crusts up and just have them in the freezer for when you need something. |
