a mousse. The closest one Ive found is Mushroom Asiago Tarts in RecipeZaar but I dont think the one I had had cheese in it. I had these at a reception a few years ago. Very good. Our church is planning a reception (for about 300)in a few months - finger food only- and I thought these would be a little different and easy.

Does anyone have a recipe for mini mushroom tarts with the texture almost like
- Thread starter elenor
- Start date
Not T&T but do you mean something like this? I'd be inclined to
use a mixture of wild mushrooms or given the cost of doing so for 300 maybe use part cremini mushrooms with the domestic mushrooms, to lend more depth of mushroom flavor.

That sounds pretty good. I think I'll give it at try. There is a group of us preparing the finger
food so Im not going to do 300 of each. I did a "Blender Quiche" for dinner last night. Was very good and sliced into squares well. Froze half to see how that comes out. Thanks for your help.

Not a mousse-like filling but here's a wild mushroom tartlet at our Peggy/AZ's site.

Elenor, the subject line including "...a group of us preparing the finger.." most likely...
...struck anyone who has ever catered as funny and familiar.
Right Joe? Cathy?

No, but yours is funnier than mine!
I got a chuckle out of Michaels....Elenor, I believe that Michael was referencing
the challenges and tribulations of catering...
As I have learned from my good friend, the purple dinosaur, Barney, their is a pinky, thumb, ring man, pointer, and "TALL MAN"....
I would imagine that Tall Man might want to creep out often when catering!! Hence...Your comment about Preparing your finger... got a chuckle from me!
Best,

Seriously, my fingers are kept busy while catering. It's the smoke coming out of my ears
that gives me away.
My clients are mostly wonderful people, but some of their guests...
I did a shower once where I brought a few plastic clamshell To-Go containers, to put the leftovers in the client's fridge. A few of the (um) ladies saw them, grabbed them and started stocking up at the buffet, leading the rest of the party to storm the kitchen saying "Where are the To-Go containers!? I didn't get my To-Go container!"

Joe, we were posted overseas (a Caribbean Island nation)
and for official functions when the food was announced we would all take 6 steps back, not to be trampled by the locals who scooped much food into their bags. We always ate beforehand.

Pat, when Jacques and I opened our store, I catered our opening party, natch, and we took an ad
in the local paper which promised "Wine and Hors d'oeuvres." Most everyone who came was friendly, and it was a great day, but one older couple wouldn't say hello or make eye contact--they just went for the food. I saw them come and go a few times, and later when I stepped outside I saw them eating plates of my food in their parked car.
I was THIS CLOSE to grabbing a bottle of wine and a tray, knocking on the car window and asking if they wanted a refill.
