Stuffed Mushrooms



A couple of weeks back I was given a whole box of mushrooms, so needed to get a bit creative to use them all up and not get completely sick of them!

This was one such idea, made just with some bits and pieces I had in the fridge.  A couple of weeks later I went to a "bring a plate" lunch and someone had brought almost exactly this recipe!  Hers however, had the addition of some sauteed bacon, which I thought was a delicious touch.  These are really yummy!

Ingredients
8 large mushrooms, stalks removed
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup corn kernels
1/4 cup diced gherkins
1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
25g tasty cheese, grated

Method
Mix together all ingredients except the mushrooms and grated cheese.

Spoon cream cheese mixture into the cups of the mushrooms.  Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Bake in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.

Optional extra step:  we were having ours as part of a BBQ, so hubby put them on the grill plate for another 5 minutes and it gave it a really nice extra flavour!
