Total time: 25 min
Yield: 12-15 servings.
Ingredients: 36 medium fresh mushrooms; 3 tablespoons butter or margarine; 1 cup mayonnaise; 1 cup finely shredded Swiss cheese; 1/4 cup Dijon mustard; 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley; 1/2 teaspoon onion powder; 2 large egg whites

"If you like mushrooms," assures Patricia Kile from Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, "you'll love this appetizer! As soon as I tasted it for the first time at a friend's house, I had to get the recipe." Not on the rich side—but full cheese and seasonings—the puffs are satisfying by themselves or as accompaniments to other dishes.

Ingredients

36 medium fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup finely shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 large egg whites

Directions

Remove and discard mushroom stems. In a skillet, saute mushroom caps in butter. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheese, mustard, parsley and onion powder. Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into mayonnaise mixture. Spoon into mushroom caps. Place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
