Great recipe! My 2 kids who claim to not like mushrooms loved these! This will be my stuffed mushroom recipe from now on (I've made it about 4 times in the past 6 months).<br/><br/>I did not spend the time to make the separate parts and combine. I just combined everything and put in the mushroom cap. I also sauteed the mushroom stems (so we didn't waste it) with the garlic and spinach. I did not have unsalted butter so I used salted and omitted the salt completely. With that change, I felt it need a slight sprinkle of salt on it to taste like Maggianos. I did have about a full sandwich bag full of mix leftover after overstuffing my mushrooms (24). I just froze it for future use (I've done it before and it's turned our fine). I've passed it on quite a few times already. -
I've made these before and they're very good but I thought I could make them even better. Two notes: (1) the breadcrumb/butter topping called for in this recipe is way too much - I had gobs left over the first time. (2) It's not clear in the recipe but you don't use the stems and gills. I cut the amount of butter & breadcrumbs by 3/4 but kept the herbs and spices per instructions and added 1 tsp. lemon zest. These were fabulous! -
These were WONDERFUL! Just like the restraunts! I tweeked the recipe alittle (didn't have unsalted butter so I used regular). Had a lot of crumb mixture left over, so I my cut back next time. -
This is a teeny bit more time consuming than my regular stuffed mushroom recipe, but it is now one of my favorite appetizers! I used medium sized mushooms; and cooked the mushrooms for about 15 minutes to brown them. Delicioius! -

The butter breadcrumb topping amounts called for in this recipe make for a huge amount of topping. I cut the amount of butter & breadcrumbs by 3/4 but kept the herbs and spices per instructions and added 1 tsp. lemon zest. These were fabulous!

The recipe is awesome. Because I made this without planning I did make a few adjustments so I couldnt save a trip to the grocery store. I used Frozen Chopped Spinach instead of fresh and I used Italian seasoning instead of all the fresh herbs. Everything else was according to the recipe and I loved it. I had a little stuffing mixture and breadcrumb mixture left over so i used it the next day and made a Crusty chicken dish stuffed with the spinach mixture.... AMAZING.
