Tips
- I chop our mushrooms fine by hand because we like a little texture to our pate, but if you like a smoother texture I might suggest that you use a food processor when you combine it with the cream cheese.
- I use low-fat cream cheese and do not add the second 2 Tablespoons of butter and it still tastes marvelous!
