I made them for my family and they loved them. Make them by the recipe then adjust to your families tastes. You'll enjoy it......

Quick and easy and I used croutons instead of toasting the bread.

What I really liked about this recipe was the fact that it highlighted just the mushrooms. The filling was simple and quick. I made these a few hours ahead before baking them for my valentine's dinner, and they made the meal more special. [I substituted finely diced sweet onion for the green onions.]

I found you needed a few more mushrooms to use as stuffing. I also cooked the veggies very well to prevent sogginess. and the bread cubes I made VERY tiny...Delish

This recipe looked good. . . The bread cubes were soggy and the best I can say is that the recipe was totally bland.
