Notes
- Choose mushrooms that are all similar sizes.
- This helps them cook evenly together.
- Don't wash mushrooms under running water directly.
- They absorb water and become soggy fast.
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing.
- Room temperature cheese blends much better.
- You can prep these a day ahead.
- Just cover and refrigerate until baking time.
- Add cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.
- Some people love adding spinach too.
- Serve them warm for the best taste.
- They're perfect with a little fresh lemon.
