Sautéed mixed mushrooms become delectable appetizers when you combine them with garlic, feta, and horseradish sauce, then use the filling in flaky mini phyllo shells.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 5; 3 mini shells per serving

　　1 teaspoon olive oil

　　4 ounces sliced button mushrooms

　　4 ounces sliced shiitake or brown (cremini) mushrooms, or a combination

　　3 medium garlic cloves, minced

　　3 tablespoons brandy or dry sherry (optional)

　　1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

　　1/8 teaspoon pepper

　　1 tablespoon plus 3/4 teaspoon crumbled fat-free feta cheese

　　15 frozen mini phyllo shells (1.90-ounce box), thawed

　　2 teaspoons (scant) bottled horseradish sauce (not bottled horseradish)

　　

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and brandy, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft, stirring frequently. Increase the heat to high and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.

　　

Step 2

Stir in the parsley and pepper. Remove from the heat.

　　

Step 3

Just before serving, spoon 1/4 teaspoon feta into each phyllo shell. Top each with 1 heaping teaspoon mushroom mixture, then with 1/8 teaspoon horseradish sauce. Serve immediately.

　　

Cook’s Tip on Horseradish Sauce

Step 4

Horseradish sauce, usually found in the condiment section of supermarkets, tastes much milder and has less heat than bottled horseradish. The sauce is similar to mayonnaise with a slight kick of horseradish but contains less fat and fewer calories.
