Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms 

Ingredients:

8 large regular mushrooms

1/4 cup of sweet onion

3 cloves of garlic , minced (roasted is nice too)

olive oil (optional)

1/8 cup margarine or butter

1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs

1/4 cup fresh Parmesan (other Parmesan is ok too)

herbs- l tbsp dill and 1/2 tsp basil, 1/4 tsp salt, few shakes pepper

   Cut the ends from the mushroom stems. Wash or brush the mushrooms.  (one of the few places you can wash and prep ahead mushrooms as the dipping in margarine will keep then ok in the frig. until cooking. Remove stems from the mushrooms by lightly twisting from side to side.  Chop stems,garlic, and onion finely and saute in olive oil (or margarine.), until tender 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.  Melt the margarine (microwave is ok), and put in small bowl. dip each mushroom into the margarine and get inside and out. then fill the caps and place filling side up in a cooking pan.  Cook 350 degree for 15 minutes.  I almost always make these ahead of time and they go from frig to oven and cook 15 minutes and are prefect. 

    Customize this for your like too, add bacon, sausage(precooked) or fine chop of another vegetable- whatever you like.
