Number Of Ingredients 13

2 loaves thinly-sliced brown bread
1 tbsp. soft butter
3 tbsp. fresh shallots, finely chopped
3 tbsp butter
1/2 lb mushrooms, finely chopped (227 g)
2 tbsp. wholewheat pastry flour
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

Butter inside of the smallest type of muffin tins. Cut slices of bread into 3" rounds with the top of an ordinary kitchen glass and press into muffin tins. Bake in 400F oven for 10 mins. For the filling, melt the butter in a deep frying pan, add the shallots and cook for a few minutes until transparent. Add the mushrooms. Cook and stir several minutes until the moisture that forms has evaporated. Remove from heat and thoroughly mix in the flour. Stir in the cream, bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened. Add all the seasonings, taste and correct seasonings if desired. Let cool. Fill the little bread forms with the mixture and top with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Bake in a 350F oven for 10 mins.
