Method

Phyllo Cups

​You will need well-greased mini-muffin or mini-shell baking pans, pastry brush, cutting board and a sharp knife. If you don’t have time to make these cups you can purchase them in gourmet shops or the specialty section of some grocery stores.

  1. Place a sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board and brush with butter. Repeat this two more times so you end up with three buttered sheets, layered.
  2. Cut phyllo dough into small squares that fit the pans, then press them into the muffin pan.
  3. Bake in 350F oven until just golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Let cool in pans. Remove and fill with mushroom mixture.

Mushroom Mixture

  1. Combine all ingredients except cheeses in bowl; mix by hand gently but well.
  2. Coat a medium saute pan with olive oil.
  3. Saute mixture on medium heat until slightly watery (approximately 4 minutes).
  4. Place mixture into colander and press down with flat of your hand gently to drain.
  5. Add shredded jalapeno cheese and mix well.

Fill phyllo cups with mixture.
When ready to serve, bake at 375º F for about 6 minutes.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan. Plate and serve immediately.

Can be made the day before and refrigerated.
