Ingredients

1 ½ (1 pound) loaves sliced white bread
2 tablespoons butter
½ pound fresh mushrooms, finely diced
½ cup onion, finely diced
⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Use a small cookie cutter to cut rounds out of the bread. Press the rounds into ungreased mini muffin tins, and bake for 8 or 9 minutes until golden; keep a close watch on them, as they bake fast. Turn out bread cups to cool.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms and onions, and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Gradually stir in half-and-half, and sprinkle with a bit of flour until mixture gets thick.
Fill bread cups with mushroom mixture, top each with a sprinkle of Parmesan, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
