With one exception, I made this recipe as written ~ The exception was that I baked them for just under 10 minutes, as I really do prefer mushrooms raw, but still wanted them 'baked' a little bit! Both of us eating them were happy with the results, so I have no complaints there! Thanks for sharing this keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef event]
