Ingredients:

---CREAM CHEESE PASTRY---
4 ounces cream cheese -- at room temperature
4 ounces unsalted butter -- at room temperature
1 cup flour
1 dash salt
---MUSHROOM FILLING---
1/2 pound mushrooms -- finely chopped
1/2 cup onion -- finely chopped
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
 

Preparation:

Pastry Crust: In a food processor, blend butter and cream cheese. Mix in flour, salt until well blended. Form into a ball and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Press dough into mini muffin cups and place in freezer. Filling: Saute mushroom, onion, and butter for 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons heavy cream to pan and mix together. Take pan off heat and add 1 egg yolk and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Fill frozen muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake another 10 minutes. Note - this is one of my favorite appetizers. The crust is so easy to make - use a food processor and it comes together with no mess. You can make the crusts up and just have them in the freezer for when you need something.
