directions

  • First, make the croustades: generously butter small muffin tins, then cut a 3-inch round from each slice of bread and carefully fit into the muffin tins.
  • Bake in preheated 400F oven for 10 minutes, or until rims are lightly browned; remove from tins and cool (may be frozen at this point).
  • Now make filling.
  • In a skillet, melt butter, then saute onions and mushrooms; stir and cook until all the moisture is evaporated.
  • Sprinkle with flour, then stir thoroughly.
  • Add cream, stirring constantly until it boils.
  • Add wine, reduce heat, and simmer a few minutes longer.
  • Remove from heat; stir in salt, cayenne, parsley and green onion.
  • Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • To serve, preheat oven to 350F; spoon mushroom filling into croustades; lightly sprinkle with parmesan and place on cookie sheet.
  • Heat in oven for 10 minutes, then put briefly under the broiler.

  1. I make these all the time, they are an excellent recipe! They do freeze well, I let mine sit out for about ten minutes before I put them in the oven (from the freezer). If you like mushrooms, I highly recommend this recipe!!
     
  2. This sounds really good and easy. Thanks. I'll try it for an appetizer on New Year's Day.
