Mushroom Mozzarella Appetizers

By • April 13, 2011 • 5 Comments


Author Notes: These were inspired by those zucchini and spinach squares you see all over made with baking mix. The little crunch on the edges is especially nice and the aleppo adds just a little background warmth.inpatskitchen

I used portabella mushrooms and pre-shredded cheese. Very bland tasting for me. Loved all the ingredients, though. Tweaking definitely necessary to make my crowd happy.

Sounds easy and delish. Have you ever made it ahead and then stuck it in the oven when you want it ready for your quests? It seems like the kind of dish that you could make earlier in the day and just pop in the oven right when your quests arrive.

I haven't but I don't see why not...I probably would wait to put it in the baking dish so that the mixture can be re-stirred. I know you can double this if you need more. Thanks for your kind words.
