My vegetarian friends do the happy dance for my mushroom caps with spinach and cream cheese, mozzarella and Parmesan. As a twist, use button mushrooms and make appetizers. —Jennifer Bender, Baldwin, Georgia

I liked the taste but I would saute the spinach and garlic together before filling. I did them exactly how the recipe called for and all I could taste was raw garlic for the rest of the night.
