# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They disappear from the party plate faster than anything else I make
  • The filling is creamy and savory without being too heavy
  • They reheat beautifully for lunch the next day
02 -
  • Overfilling the mushrooms is better than underfilling, the filling puffs up slightly
  • Let them cool for just 5 minutes before serving so the filling sets a bit
03 -
  • Save any leftover filling and stuff it into hollowed out cherry tomatoes
  • A piping bag makes filling the mushrooms quicker and neater
