Guess what folks! My sweetest hubby gifted me a Kitchen Aid Mixer – a Mother’s day gift which finally I picked, because mixers come in so many wonderful colors and it was difficult for me to choose – but i finally went with my favorite color – orange – and I’ve been meaning to test it our for a week – But now finally I got the time to do this and decided to go with a recipe that came with the mixer – These came out brilliantly and my friends who came over for dinner were totally appreciative of them… Isn’t it a great feeling when you follow a recipe and get it to look like the pictures shown?!! I certainly felt that satisfaction.
Here is the recipe and the pics – mine and the ones from the recipe book for a comparison, just for fun (:
Ingredients
4 ounces of lite cream cheese
¾ cup of all purpose flour + 1tsp
8 ounces of roughly chopped mushrooms
1 cup of chopped green onions (spring onions)
1 egg
½ cup of grated Swiss cheese
1 tbsp butter ( I used a garlic & herb infused butter)
1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
Preparation With a mixer (for without do like you would any baked item)
Add the cream cheese and butter and whip for 1 minute using the flat beater on level 4
Scrape off the sides and add the flour and blend for another minute or until the batter starts coming together on level 6
Remove and make a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour
In the meantime, in the olive oil sauté the mushroom and spring onion – I used some spice mix to bring out the flavors (purely optional)
In the mixer, using the same flat beater, crack your egg and add the 1tsp of flour and then add the grated cheese and the veggies and mix for 30 second on level 2
Set the oven for 375
Grease a mini muffin pan and keep ready
When the 1 hour is up, remove from fridge and make small balls and flatten into the muffin pan
Add the mushroom filling
Bake for about 15-20 minutes
Enjoy warm
