Red Wine Mushroom Tarts

We needed a few snacks to watch the NCAA tourney games on the weekend. Came up with these guys.....Highly recomend them, they dissapeared damn quick!

First start out by making the pastry dough and form it into a log. Put it into the fridge for a few hours before using it.

For the dough you need:
8 Ounces of Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Butter
1.5 Cups Flour

Beat together the cream cheese with the butter until fairly light and fluffy. Then fold in the flour.

Once the dough is nice and chilled pull out a muffin tin and shape into the tins
Now for the filling you need:
Mushrooms (not sure exactly how many, I grabbed a full bag from the grocery store, see pic below)
4 Small Onions
8 Cloves Garlic
Tablespoon Thyme
3 Cups of Red Wine
1/4 Cup of Flour
Salt and Pepper
Habenero and Monterey Jack Cheese
Start by heating up the onions in a little butter Dice up all the mushrooms and toss them on top, the pan will be over flowing until they cook down
Once the mushrooms have cooked down a little and released some of there juices stir in the garlic and thyme Once most of the mushroom cooking liquid is gone stir in the 3 cups of red wine
Once most of the red wine has cooked out and the mushrooms are getting drier again stir in the flour
It should like something like this
Now fill the pastry cups you made earlier Top each tart with a piece of cheese with hot peppers in it, we used Habanero Monterey Jack
Cook at 400 for half an hour or so
