Notes
- Can prepare mushrooms before hand and keep in fridge until ready to bake
- Swiss cheese works well, but I think mozzarella or maybe a smoked gouda would be fun
- I use prepared Italian bread crumbs, but you could use plain and then add your own herbs.
- If you find you need more butter… use more butter.
- This recipe can be easily halved or doubled
