  • “Another winner Dancer!I used tiny tartlet tins(1 1/4″ across, 1/2” deep) and got 2 dozen – only needed 20 minutes in the oven. Great flavor and a very easy recipe to follow – One step was missed – mixing the mushrooms with the cream cheese mixture – it is obvious though that you combine the two before filling the phyllo cupsThanks Dancer “
