Strength-Builders' Stuffed Mushrooms

JESMom's Note:

Another from The Biggest Loser Cookbook. It says that 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne is too much for most people, but a pinch is too little. I say take it slow :0

I made this recipe in the ratios written except that I used dried parsley. I think it was missing something...garlic perhaps? The Biggest Loser Cookbook mentions using a low fat feta but I don't think that's the issue. I rubbed the parsley together to release the flavors before adding to the recipe but I still think it was missing something. I baked the mushrooms in my toaster oven on a foil lined pan for EASY clean-up. Will definitely make again with garlic perhaps?
