Mushrooms!

I have some huge mushrooms that I think will do well for stuffing or filling. I don`t know what to fill or stuff them with, so ideas would be greatefully accepted.

Appetizer #2 Rvision 1

This one looks harder than it is. You can make in advance, keep them on the baking sheet and reheat at 375 for about 5 mins. Don't microwave..

Quick and Easy Appetizer

My favorite part of entertaining is the appetizer part. I have been known to have dinner parties with only the appetizer course. I serve the appetizers outside on the patio, and with lots (and lots) of champagne.

Since this is my first offering in the Shire, I'll start with something very easy....time later for the puff pastry and detailed stuffing for mushrooms!

Looks like Bruschetta )
