Tangy cream cheese and fresh herbs are a perfect complement to the earthy flavor of mushrooms. Serve these as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish with meat or fish.

Yield: 64 Stuffed Mushrooms (party version)

Prep time: 40 minutes

Cooking time: 20-25 minutes

Difficulty Level: Moderate

Mushrooms:

• 64 small mushrooms (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter), with stems
• 4-5 small clove garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp. Horizon Organic® unsalted butter
• 2 (8-ounce) containers Horizon Organic cream cheese, softened
• 4 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil
• 3 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh oregano
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Buttered Crumbs:

• 1/2 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs mixed with 1 tsp. melted Horizon Organic unsalted butter.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pull stems off of the mushrooms, leaving a small crater inside each mushroom cap. Finely chop the mushroom stems. Sauté the stems and the garlic in 2 tablespoons butter until the mushrooms are well cooked and have given up all of their moisture. Using an electric mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon, beat together the cream cheese, cooked mushroom mixture and fresh herbs. Season to taste with black pepper.

Spoon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Alternately, spoon mixture into a one-gallon zip-top storage bag, cutting off one corner of the bag to allow the mixture to be squeezed through. Pipe filling into caps, enough to form a slight dome. Top each mushroom with some buttered bread crumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere. Arrange on a large baking sheet. Mushrooms can be prepared to this point, covered, and refrigerated for several hours. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
