"These are divine hot appetizers that are unusual and fun for many occasions. The toast cups can be made ahead and frozen to make party day easier. :)"

Ingredients:
1-1/2 (1 pound) loaves sliced white bread
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, finely diced
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Use a small cookie cutter to cut rounds out of the bread. Press the rounds into ungreased mini muffin tins, and bake for 8 or 9 minutes until golden; keep a close watch on them, as they bake fast. Turn out bread cups to cool.

3. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms and onions, and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Gradually stir in half-and-half, and sprinkle with a bit of flour until mixture gets thick.

4. Fill bread cups with mushroom mixture, top each with a sprinkle of Parmesan, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
