Instructions: 1. Using a processor, chop mushrooms until fine, but not too fine. Saute mushrooms in butter about 5 minutes until tender. Using processor, process ham bits until very smooth, add thyme, mustard and tabasco.

2. In a medium bowl, blend mushrooms, ham, and cream cheese.

3. Pack into a pretty bowl, or crock, or shape into log. Refrigerate to mellow. Serve with crackers.

This would be good as a filling for cream puffs, sandwiches, or cherry tomatoes, or spread on crisp, sturdy, raw veggies.
