This is excellent! I had to use a French baguette since that's all my store had. I just cut it in thin slices so mine were smaller but still delicious! This sauce is just wonderful and I could have eaten it all by itself! My sauce wasn't thickened after 15 minutes so turned up to medium-high heat and it thickened nicely in no time. Thanks for posting this. A definite keeper.

I made this as one of my Christmas Eve appetizers and everyone went home with the recipe, they were SO good! The only change I made was to serve them on thinly sliced baguette, drizzled with olive oil and toasted. Each was about two bites sized and the mushroom topping was enough for 24 of them. I also used a whole lot more than 4 Tbl. of swiss cheese, because around here there's no such thing as too much cheese (I used Emmenthaler). I also used nutmeg instead of mace, as that's what I had. This is something I can envision making for myself for supper, as does my vegetarian daughter. Thanks for such a scrumptious recipe, Baby Kato!

Excellent and very filling. I served this with pork tenderloin and could only eat about a half of one. Very very rich. I made as directed with only a few changes. I halved the recipe and used half & half instead of the cream and added some crushed red pepper flakes (personal preference) I left out the mace because I didn't know what that was and couldn't find any at the store. Thanks BK. You have another winner.

OMG is this ever good! I can see myself using the mushroom mixture for other recipes, the only change I made was I increased the garlic to 2 tablespoons and used yellow onions in place of the shallots as I did not have any handy! This mixture would be great served on small crostini as an appetizer! I can't wait to make this again my DH and DS loved this for an evening snack! thanks Baby K!...Kitten:)

Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
