How to Make Cheesy Mushroom Appetizers

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
  2. Remove stems from 1 pound of large mushrooms (e.g., cremini or button) and finely chop the stems. Reserve the chopped stems for another use (e.g., soup, sauce).
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Brush melted butter evenly over the mushroom caps.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese (or other melting cheese), and 1/4 cup of dry sherry or white wine. Stir until well combined.
  6. Add 1/4 cup of finely crushed crackers (e.g., Ritz) and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the cheese mixture. Stir until well blended.
  7. Arrange mushroom caps, cavity side up, on a rimmed baking sheet.
  8. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it stays in place.
  9. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, golden brown, and the mushrooms are tender. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  10. Serve immediately while hot and bubbly.
