This is a great little appetizer, or great served at a brunch. I've also used it at baby showers...it really goes over well. Prep time does not include the time for the cream cheese and butter to soften. Ingredients:
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained well |
3/4 cup swiss cheese, shredded (3 oz) |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp half-and-half cream |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Combine the softened cream cheese and softened butter in a medium mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Add the flour, and beat at medium speed until smooth.
2. Shape the pastry into 24 1 balls. Place each ball into a miniature (1 3/4 inch) muffin pan; press dough onto the bottom and sides to form a shell. Set aside.
3. Combine the chopped broccoli and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well. Spoon the broccoli mixture evenly into the shells. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until set and lightly browned.
