Wild Mushroom Phyllo Cups

Ingredients:

• 1 15 ct packaged phyllo cups (frozen foods section)
• 1 large shallot
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 lbs assorted mushrooms, minced
• 2 T dry sherry
• 1/4 c heavy cream
• 2 T Italian parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 T good-quality parmesan cheese, divided

Melt butter in a skillet and saute the shallot and garlic. When shallots are clear add the mushrooms and continue to cook for a few minutes longer.

Deglaze the pan with the sherry. Reduce the liquid until almost gone. Stir every once in a while to ensure that liquid is reducing evenly. When reducing is done, add cream and reduce again. Add chopped parsley and salt and pepper. Mix in 2 T parmesan cheese.

Preheat oven to 375*. Place phyllo shells on a sheet pan and fill each cup with filling. Sprinkle each cup with a little of the remaining parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese has browned. Serve hot.

**The mushroom filling can be made 1-2 days ahead of time. Bring to room temp before filling the cups; pproceed as directed.

Filling can also be used in phyllo sheets. Fill phyllo and fold into triangles as though making spanikopita.

Time to Prepare: 30 minutes
