Mushroom Tartlets Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 40 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1 pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add flour; beat until mixture forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
For filling, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter. Drain and pat dry. Return to the pan; stir in cream cheese until melted. Stir in salt and thyme; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/16-in. thickness; cut into 2-1/2-in. circles. Press onto the bottoms and up the sides of greased miniature muffin cups. Place a rounded teaspoonful of filling in each cup.
Bake at 350° for 12-17 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: about 3 dozen.
