Savory Mushroom Tartlets
- for crust
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- *or use ready-made pie crust (such as Pillsbury)
- For the filling
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 pound mushrooms
- 1 large onion
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ground thyme
- 2 tablespoons flour
- fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
- For crustrnBeat cream, cheese, butter and flour until smooth and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Add the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and transfer to a large skillet. Add the butter to the skillet and cook over medium high heat, until the mushrooms give off some of their liquid.
- Add the onion to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add onions to the mushroom mixture. Cook until the onions have cooked and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream, salt, thyme and flour. Cook for about a minute until thickened and remove from heat to cool.
- Meanwhile, roll out the dough and cut into 2 3/4 in circles (or thereabouts) and press into a mini muffin pan.
- Fill pastry cups with 1 teaspoon of mushroom filling. Bake at 450 degrees F for 12-14 minutes or until the crust is a light golden brown.
- Can be made ahead and frozen until ready to serve. To reheat tartlets, defrost them for 20-30 minutes and warm in a 325 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
