It’s official. I am protesting Mother Nature. And my poor timing. I seem to have the uncanny ability to pick the wrong times to walk the dogs. And I do try to get it right. This week, however, I am failing miserably. Tuesday night I had limited time to walk the dogs and it was pouring rain. I checked the radar and it looked like it would rain quite hard for over an hour so off I went with the two dogs. In a couple of minutes we were all soaked through. And wouldn’t you know it, the sun poked through the clouds and the rain backed off at the end of the walk.
Last night, again torrential rain, honestly it is like a giant is standing up there with buckets of water. Flooding in the area is quick and messy. So the rain backed off and I thought here was my chance. Grabbed the dogs and raced out. I was about 3 doors down (no pun intended) and the skies opened up. I would have been dryer if I had taken a shower. I had to wring my clothes out before I went in. I am now familiar with how a drowned rat feels!
So while I was warming up after the walk I needed to sort out dinner. I decided to make mushroom cups which are very fast and easy to make.
To start chop up a few mushrooms and some garlic.
Saute them in olive oil and then add a splash of sherry.
Remove from the heat once they’ve browned a bit. Let cool then mix in grated cheese. I used Jarlsberg for this.
Spoon into ready made phyllo cups and then place in a hot toaster oven to melt the cheese and warm through.
I served these with salad made up of apple, brie, and prosciutto. Yum!
A very quick but delicious meal. Especially when a light meal is preferred in this heat!
I love this kind of meals. Mushrooms! 😛
Thanks. 🙂
Yummy!!!
🙂
I agree – I am sick of all the rain but I do like mushrooms.This recipe is definitely one to try.
Thanks. I actually see sun right now. I want it to stay! But they are saying rain through the weekend. Ugh.
That sounds absolutely divine!!!!
Very comforting food for drowned rats! I really hope that weather clears.
There is actually some sun today! 🙂
The mushroom cups looks so crispy and full of flavour. Love that salad too! 🙂
Thanks. It went down a treat.
This looks delicious and I have always thought those fillo cups are so cute although I have yet to buy them.
They are a great go to for a fast starter. 🙂
I’ve given up on those radar maps. I can’t tell you how many times I see green and yellow over my part of the World and not a drop of rain falls. I can see now that I should get some phyllo and mushrooms. It won’t make the radar maps any better but I’ll be happier about the situation. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Yum! For a minute I thought you were going to say you grew the mushrooms yourself seeing as how the weather up there is so wet and humid. 🙂 Looks like a winning recipe.
There are mushrooms everywhere at the moment in the grass. Crazy!
Sorry about the rain! It’s been in the 90’s here and I do very little getting out of the pool! The Mushroom cups look great, what a good weekday meal 🙂
That weather has now arrived and we’re melting! Thank goodness for A/C
I am totally loving these mushroom cups. I have got to try them for dinner!
I hope you enjoy! 🙂
