Notes
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella for variety!
If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
Make sure the mushrooms are not too crowded on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Use any leftover filling as a spread for bread or crackers.
These tasty bites are sure to make a splash at your next gathering! 😋
