Basil, Parmesan cheese and mushroom blend together well, while buttery pecans give these treats a surprising crunch. Our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren always ask for them! —Mildred Eldred, Union City, Michigan

Love, love, love this recipe. I did make minor changes. I used Italian flavored bread crumbs from Aldi; I added garlic to the onion mixture, and I also put in Italian seasonings. I put a tad bit of Olive oil in the pan and rolled the mushrooms in that before stuffing. The OO gave it another taste which was great.

I really liked this recipe! Only 2 changes: I just had Panko bread crumbs available, so I used those. I'd sprinkled cayenne pepper on mushrooms after baking them! Next time I know to add the cayenne pepper to mushroom mixture before baking! This recipe makes a great appetizer and I found it very simple to prepare!
