Blueberry Cream Cheese Mini Pies

 These are so delicious. I received the recipe through a friend and did not hesitate to make them that weekend.  They take no time at all to make and if you don't want to go through making the homemade blueberry filler you can use a simple cheat of using blueberry pie filling and add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the pie filling. Then reduce the amount you put into muffin pan from 2Tbs to 1Tbs.

INGREDIENTS:

Streusel

6tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4cup sugar

1tablespoon grated lemon peel

1/4cup cold butter or margarine

Blueberry Filling

3/4cup sugar

3tablespoons cornstarch

1cup water

4cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1teaspoon grated lemon peel

1tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Cream Cheese Filling

1package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/4cup sugar

1egg

Crust

1can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits

DIRECTIONS:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon peel. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• In 2-quart saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir over medium heat about 10 minutes or until thickened. Add 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook about 10 minutes or until mixture returns to a boil. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon peel and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add remaining blueberries; stir gently. Set aside.
• In small bowl, beat cream cheese filling ingredients until smooth; set aside.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Split each biscuit in half to make 16 rounds. With floured fingers, flatten each to form 4-inch round. Press 1 biscuit round into each of 16 ungreased regular-size muffin cups. Spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese filling and 2 tablespoons blueberry filling into each biscuit-lined cup. Sprinkle each with about 1 tablespoon streusel (cups will be full).
• Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups to cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

 The husband and I decided to go for breakfast last week with a friend. I ordered the ultimate skillet which consisted of seasoned potatoes, eggs the way you like them, sausage, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, onions and cheese. I omited the onions. And a coffee. The husband ordered biscuits and gravy but ate it before I could get a picture. :) we also shared an order of 6 pancake puppies. Our friend ordered the meatlovers scramble. Both our orders were too big to finish but they all tasted great...and were worth the price as you can tell by the receipts. The place was clean but the cloth handle used to bring the hot skillet out was dirty with older food.

The order,
Appetizers-Spicy balls of pepperjack cheese dipped in batter and deep fried. Fried mushrooms and deep fried pickles.
 chicken fried salad,
BLT with tortilla soup

 At first, you might pass this place right up. It has a small parking space and looks like an older mom and pop joint. But going inside, you feel like you belong. The staff was very courteous and helpful when ordering. The prices are not high and the food was good. The BLT was your basic BLT but the tortilla soup was just great. All the appetizers were ate...and we longed for more! The salad was more than Jeri could eat but worth every bite.  It is right along Madison St in Clarksville, Tn
