Mushrooms in Phyllo Dough

Step 1

Take the phyllo dough to thaw out for 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, Teflon preferred, heat the butter. Add the garlic, if using, and cook until golden. Add mushrooms and seasonings and cook until softened. Remove from heat. Stir in the cream cheese to make the mushrooms stick together.

Step 3

Working fast, unwrap the dough and spread melted butter in-between each of 4 layers of dough, placing one on top the other. Cut circles using a 3 inch cookie cutter.

Step 4

Place in a 24 mini-muffin pan cup and fill 3/4 full with the mushroom filling.

Step 5

Using the scraps, cut 1 1/2 inch circles and place on top the filled cups. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven or until golden brown. Puff pastry could be substituted.
