Excellent appetizer. I made this exactly as directed, and came up with 40 appetizer cups, which, with other appetizers, satisfied about 8 - 10 people. It was delicious, and disappeared quickly. Next time, I think I'd add an extra egg, more parmesan, and some garlic, too. However, they're delicious and very easy to make as is. Wonderful recipe I'll make again, definitely!

Nice presentation. I didn't use salt either, and added some chopped red peppers.

A lot of work for a fairly pedestrian result. Followed recipe exactly as presented (with prosciutto.) Edible, but not memorable.

WOW, these were eaten right up!!! The aroma was wonderful also. The only thing that was different was that I did not add the salt. I used canned mushroom and they worked out great. I was really happy with this recipe & will be having it many times more. I am going to try it with just regular bacon or pancetta next time to see how that tastes. Thank you for the recipe!!!
