It was my turn this week to select the secret ingredient for the appetizer, and I chose mushrooms. I love mushrooms and cook them very often. I love them on pizzas, I saute them with green beans for side dishes, I bake them in casseroles, and I order them very often from appetizer menus when we eat out. I thought I'd challenge myself and make my own mushroom appetizer at home. I found a recipe from stuffed mushrooms in the Jan/Feb issue of Southern Lady and decided to try it. I am happy to report that we were not disappointed; the flavors complemented each others perfectly, creating delicious mushroom bites.
Parmesan and Herbs-Stuffed Mushrooms
16-18 large stuffer mushrooms,washed and dried.
2 to 3 tbsp. melted butter
3/4 cup grated Parmesan chees
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
2 tbsp. minced fresh thyme
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350F. Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Brush the mushrooms with melted butter and place on a baking sheet. Combine the remaining ingredients and blend well. Spoon or pipe into the mushrooms and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Thanks for choosing mushrooms, Candi! I love them, my favorite is shiitake mushroom.
You appetizer looks very yummy and easy to prepare. A perfect recipe for the holidays! I'm making mine later in the day, mushroom stuffed with crab.
Happy Sunday!
