Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 slices very thin sliced white bread (low calorie bread is the perfect size)
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons onions, very finely chopped
1/2 lb mushroom, very finely chopped
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 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.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought puff pastry dough and it worked perfectly.

I thought these croustades were just okay. The filling was a little bland for my taste, and the crust was a bit too hard.

These were delicious! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
