Stuffed mushrooms are an extremely versatile appetizer. They are sure to disappear quickly from your appetizer table at your next get-together. For the best results, when shopping for mushrooms for this recipe, look for small to medium size caps. Cremini or Baby Portobello mushrooms can also be substituted if desired. A slightly more earthy flavor will result.
