Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin tin with butter and set off to the side.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use your fingers to mix together the butter, cream cheese, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
