Savory Mushroom Cups image

This is a fabulous recipe for parties and get-togethers! You can make it a few days ahead of time and store the mushroom filling in the fridge and the toast cups in an air tight container at room temp for a few days or in the freezer for up to a month. I have actually lost this recipe recently, so everything here is from memory. I'm a bit of a slap-dash cook anyways, so feel free to alter the amounts to your own taste.

Time 2h

Yield 30-45 cups, 15-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter
2 -3 large shallots
1 1/2-2 1/2 lbs mushrooms, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 -2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 -2 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 -3 loaves white bread
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Wash and chop up all the mushrooms.
  • Peel and finely chop the shallots.
  • Melt the butter in a large stock pot.
  • Add shallots, cook until slightly browning (about 2 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms. Cook until liquid is mostly absorbed (about 15 minutes).
  • Throw in the flour and stir.
  • Add whipping cream and stir.
  • Remove from heat and toss in all of the spices, stir until uniform.
  • Set aside to cool. If storing for later, allow to cool before putting into the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spoon mushroom filling into toast cups (see instructions for toast cups below).
  • Top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes (cheese should be pretty melted).
  • Serve hot.
  • Toast Cups: Preheat over to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin tin (or mini muffin tin) with cooking spray. Using a plain or fluted biscuit cutter (2.5-3 inch size for the muffin tin and 1.5-2 inch size for minis), cut a round from each slice of bread and gently press into the muffin cups. Bake until edges are golden brown (about 10 minutes) and let they cool on a wire rack. If storing for future use, cool and then put into an air tight container.
