Mushroom Toast Cups Recipe

Directions

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

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.
