Stuffed Mushrooms Holiday Apps

INGREDIENTS

• 18 whole mushrooms
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• ½ cup finely minced fresh herbs (I used ¼ cup parsley, ⅛ cup thyme, ⅛ cup oregano, and 2 sage leaves)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease the baking pan.
2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Save stems.
3. Finely mince about half the mushroom stems, which will go into the stuffing.
4. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, minced herbs, minced garlic cloves, and olive oil. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stuff each mushroom cap with 1-2 tablespoons of stuffing.
6. Arrange the mushrooms on the baking pan, and bake at 400°F for 17-19 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden and the stuffing is melted.
