Not Only Spinach But Also Mushroom - Little Pastries to Have with Drinks

Two of my favourite appetizers to have with drinks.
Mushroom Savouries and Spinach Puffs
Both have been particularly popular when I've served them
I had some mushroom filling leftover, so what better way to use it up try the Spinach Puff Method
So here ya go...yet another idea to feed those guests
Mushroom Filling.
¼ cup unsalted butter
4 green onions chopped
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced chives
250 gm mushrooms finely chopped
3 tablespoons flour
¾ cup cream

¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt
1 tablespoons lemon juice

Grated Parmesan Cheese.
2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 large tomato deseeded and cut into cubes
Parsley chopped

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat
Add green onions parsley and chives

Add mushrooms
Cook 10 minutes, or until liquid evaporates.
Sprinkle flour over mixture, stir till blended
