These are very tasty and I would definitely recommend trying them! However I felt they were missing something. This is a recipe I will absolutely be playing around with. Because the mushrooms are so juicy and the filling is so creamy they just need some "bite" in my opinion (especially as a main dish/side, as a first coarse they're perfect!) I added some chopped walnuts and really enjoyed that , but I didn't use enough. I think I may try adding in some cooked rice along with more nuts. I was nervous about the canned artichokes. I never liked them before and I NEVER used them before, but I wanted something different and they were excellent in this recipe. Thanks Kitten!

I made these last week and they were delicious. I halved the recipe because it was just my hubby and I and we had 6 small caps instead. I chopped and cooked the stems in some olive oil and italian bread crumbs and folded it into the mixture. Only had large tmatoes so topped each with one slice. We did 3 w/parm, 3 w/mozz and both preferred the mozz but the parm was still yummy. Served with couscous and a salad with a delicious strawberry vinaigrette I found on here (Deborah Lee's Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing) I left some comments/suggestions about that too. Hubby loved it all. Thanks for the recipe!

the portabella's were really expensive at the grocery story so we got the baby bellas instead - i put them on heavy tinfoil on the grill and now my vegetarian girlfriend likes to grill with me :) - thank you for the recepe - the baby bellas were perfect bite size, but the filling was enough for about 4 dozen of the baby bellas - ill probably just do a half batch next time.

Kittencal, you're a genius. This one knocks it outta the park every time. Even with the carnivorous crowd. Thanks a million!

I cooked these for 10 min. at 250 and they still were not hot in the center. I recommend cooking longer, and hotter. Just to keep them out of the microwave.

I am a meat and potatoes kind of guy but this is awsome. I have never had a portabella mushroom to boot either. I made it just like the receipe and this was a pleasent surprise. Cheap and easy to make.

These made a perfectly wonderful evening meal with no other dishes on the side. Fantastic flavours and texture. DH whispered in awe, 'can we have these again tomorrow?' : ) I made the filling a day ahead to let the flavours build and to save time. Thank you so much. I'd like to serve these portabella's as a first course when we have company, and follow up with a light Italian entree.

Delicious! People commended me on trying something different on the grill. Even my meat-loving friends loved it. Thank you.

These are delicious. I recently converted to vegetarianism and this is one of the things that made me decide that I can still cook really yummy things without meat. I didn't shred the basil, but kept the leaves whole. I think they look prettier that way.

Outstanding! Even my 3 year old who hates mushrooms ate this with delight. At least 4-5 good sized bites! Amazing!
I won't be missing steak anytime soon.....
Here's what I changed:
-For the herbs I added half dried basil and half dried oregano. Fresh would probably be even better.
-I used neufchatel (1/3 fat cream cheese) rather than cream cheese.
-Used grape tomato rather than plums, since grapes looked better at the store. A little more work, but a great winter tomato.
-Didn't use salt until after cooking and added it to taste.
-Did add some of the Paul Prudhomme's salt free seasoning to the mushroom cap prior to assembling.
Recipe made the perfect amount of stuffing for 8 portabellos. Cooked for 10 minutes on the grill. Perfection! Thanks for a great recipe!

Yum! I made these for dinner last night with basalmic vinegar on the side. As suggested, I made the filling ahead of time, mixing it in my food processor (which worked out quite well). I used light cream cheese and sour cream, and left out the salt. I also used dried herbs (I know, I'm a heretic): 1 t basil, 1 t oregano, and 3/4 t rosemary. Hubby and I ate two each and were stuffed (ha ha, I made a pun), so I wouldn't hesitate to serve these as an entree rather than a side dish.

These mushrooms are truly outstanding! My boyfriend is a trained chef and he is very hard to impress - he loved them! They will be a staple at my summer BBQs this year! I used fresh oregano but thought it was a little overpowering. Next time I will use more garlic and less oregano. Thanks Kittencal!
