One of the first appetizers I learned to make as a newlywed was Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms. I copied the recipe from a friend in New York City, who had made it for a party, and I was impressed. While I was new to cooking, this recipe is the kind that almost guarantees success – quick and easy, delicious, and with make-ahead potential so I wouldn’t be flustered just before guests arrived.
When buying mushrooms for this recipe, look for ones that are about the same size so they finish cooking at the same time and look attractive together on the serving platter. If I have to buy them prepackaged, I buy an extra package so I can sort the mushrooms, setting aside the odd sizes for another use. I love mushrooms and I can easily add them sliced raw in salads, sautéed in omelets, simmered in soups…you can never have too many mushrooms in your fridge.
