made these as a side dish for breakfast with egg, bacon and grilled tomatoes, and everyone loved it. I did add a sprinkle of parmasen cheese to mine, and that was good too :) made for Aussie swap, June 2013

These were nice and simple. We actually paired them to a peppery steak and garlic rice, and it was a great combo. But I could happily eat these with toasted points! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! I love mushrooms and these were simple and great. I made them as directed and they made a great little appetizer. They were so good that I made them again to go along with a steak. Thanks Mikekey for a great new keeper. Congrats on your Football Pool win.

Breathtaking! I have this cookbook on my shelf, and I've never made this recipe...shame on me! Fabulous! Made exactly as posted, except I halved the recipe....wanted to add garlic, but restrained to stay true to the recipe! I used toasted french bread instead of regular bread. I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could! Thanks for sharing!

So good!!!! This is absolutely terrific on a good steak. We really enjoyed it with Recipe #213659 and Recipe #34612. I made this as listed but I only had milk so I simmered it for about 15 minutes to thicken. Made for my adopted chef for Fall 2009 PAC. Thanks mikekey! :)
