Stuffed Mushrooms (w/ Parsley or Oregano)

 


This recipe is a good one. You can modify it to suit your own tastes. I personally am not a mushroom fan, but I do like these. Maybe it's all the olive oil and butter.

I do not have exact measurements, this recipe is from my mother who got it from her mother in law from Italia (Italy). This is very common for Italians not to have exact measurements, but that's ok, just wing it. If throwing a party, use my antipasto recipe for another appetizer!

Appetizers - depends on number of mushrooms
