Wouldn't change a thing either, TRUE! PERFECT for friends at BBQ! Something different, easy to make for me! HIGHLY recommend making this recipe! Thanks!

These were awesome! They got eaten up. I couldn't find dice pitted kalamata olives so I had to do this myself which was tedious but I'd do it again if I had to. Definately use the pecorino cheese; its gets a great melt after cooking. One note, these are pretty salty with the olives, cheese, etc.

Very tasty mushrooms. But somehow we would have like a little bit of melted cheddar cheese on top. Thanks Sharon :) Made for 123 hit wonders

These were delicious! I used jarred roasted red bell peppers & parmesan cheese (what I had). I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe! They were ALL gone! Thanks for a great recipe! Made for PRMR Tag Game!

Another recipe snaffled by Zaar gremlins before I'd even posted it! They probably wanted to go off and make it. Totally delicious mushroom recipe that we two mushroom lovers greatly enjoyed. The roast pepper and kalamata olives: YUM! :) And the other ingredients made for a fabulous blend of flavours. My only additions were thyme and minced garlic - for me, must include ingredients when I'm cooking mushrooms. What I wanted on this occasion was dinner for two, so I used four fairly large field muhsrooms and included the stems in the filling. I baked them in a moderate oven, loosely covered in foil for 15 minutes, then uncovered for a further 10 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed these with Lalaloula's yummy Recipe #351008 and MsSally's equally yummy Recipe #314293. For anyone planning to make these, they'd make fabulous appetisers, and I look forward to making them as such next time the occasion arises. Thank you for sharing another wonderful - and low-fat - recipe, Sharon. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
