I reduced this to make 2 servings and subbed 4 oz of crab for the chicken breast. I found the mixture quite 'sloshy' and had a hard time getting it to stay in the mushroom caps. Other than that these were easy to prepare. The filling did bake up firm and the texture is more quiche like than a traditional stuffed mushroom. I liked the flavor and the bread crumb topping was a plus. Thanks for sharing your RSC creation!!

These came out very tastey and I found the combination of lime juice and basil to be very good. These are a little like a fancy stuffed mushroom and I liked making them. The only change I would make is to make more of these tastey little creations. My bf says to omit the spinach...but i liked the spinach. Thanks for the new appitizer. :)

I work for the phone co but in the kitchen is where I play. I have experimented with many different foods trying to keep my kitchen from getting boring. "La Bouche Creole" by Leon Soniat is one one of my favorite cookbooks but I use an old Better homes as my anchor alot of the time. Found this place trying to make something great with low salt. What a challenge!
