FOR THE FILLING, COOK:

Time-Saving Tip

To save time, make the filling while the pastry chills. By the time the pastry cups are cut out, the filling will be cool enough to use.

Instructions

For the pastry, beat cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Beat in chives; add flour and salt and beat on low speed to form a stiff dough. Divide dough into 2 disks; wrap each in plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

For the filling, cook bacon in a skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to skillet and cook over medium heat until mushrooms release their moisture, it evaporates, and mushrooms are brown, about 10 minutes.

Deglaze skillet with sherry, scraping up any brown bits; cook until sherry evaporates.

Off heat, stir in bacon, sour cream, ½ cup Parmesan, and parsley; season filling with salt and pepper. Let filling cool to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 425°. Lightly coat mini muffin pans with nonstick spray.

Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛-inch thick. Cut dough into 4-inch squares; reroll scraps as needed.

Press one pastry square into each well of prepared pans. Scoop 1 Tbsp. filling into center of each well. Brush edges of pastry with egg wash. Sprinkle tops with remaining 2 Tbsp. Parmesan.

Bake cups until golden and crisp, 1315 minutes; cool on a wire rack. Serve cups warm or at room temperature.
