Preparation

Step 1

Crust: Let cream cheese and butter warm to room temperature. Blend. Stir in flour. Chill about 1 hour. Shape into balls a little less than 1 inch in diameter. Place in ungreased mini-muffin tins. Press dough onto the bottom and sides forming pastry cups.

Filling: Beat eggs with sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until smooth. Divide half the nuts among the pastry cups. Top with filling and remaining nuts. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool. Remove from pans.
