"Originally from Pillsbury, I adapted this recipe to something a bit different than the original. Made them for a party recently, and they disappeared faster than you can say 'Yummy'!"

This is a wonderful appetizer!!! Garlic, mushrooms, cheese, all in a tasty pastry! Yum!!! Very difficult to eat only one. Took these to a BBQ and they were gone very quickly. I did use diced red onion, and cooked with the mushrooms. Also used Camembert cheese. A must have recipe !!! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent and easy appetizer! The mushroom (I used regular button) mixture is delicious and the brie puts this recipe "over the top". Yummy! It's super easy, too. I prepped the everything, except for the brie, ahead of time and it worked really well.

I really, really dislike the idea of 'liking' these appetizers, but I did, & I do! I no longer dislike cooked mushrooms [SOMETIMES!] because of this recipe particularly! The various flavors [mushroom, garlic, cheese, etc] melded to make these mini bites very tasty! They were gone in no time, & I had to make a handful of copies of the recipe! Many thanks!
