Surprise appetizer

This recipe is from Steve’s favourite site because of it’s clear instructions:

  • 6 large mushrooms (button or crimini)
  • 2 Tbsp each: finely chopped onions and red peppers
  • 6 RITZ Crackers, finely crushed (about ¼ cup)
  • 1 Tbs Parmesan Grated Cheese
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
  1. REMOVE stems from mushrooms. Finely chop enough stems to measure 1/4 cup. Reserve remaining stems for another use (like chicken marsala).
  2. MELT 1 Tbs butter or oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add chopped stems, onions and peppers; cook and stir until tender. Stir in cracker crumbs, cheese and seasoning; spoon into mushroom caps. Place on baking sheet.
  3. BAKE 15 min at 400F, or until heated through. NOTE: Mushrooms can be stuffed several hours in advance. Refrigerate until ready to serve then bake, uncovered, at 400°F for 20 min. or until heated through.

One of the things we thought is how varied this recipe could be:

Bruschetta: feta, finely chopped tomoto (no seeds) and fresh basil

Seafood: crab or clams with cream cheese, Worcestershire and Old Bay Spice
