Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound mushrooms
  • 1 medium onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup clam juice
  • 3 tablespoons sauterne wine
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup light cream (half&half)
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Method

  • Pop stems out of shrooms (don't tear cups).
  • Cut stems up finely.
  • Saute shrooms and onions in butter (or olive oil) slowly, over medium-low heat, until limp; be careful not to let mixture burn.
  • Add clam juice and wine; cook slowly until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add bread crumbs to shroom mixture in pan; mix well.
  • Should be quite dry.
  • Add half and half until mixture has a good texture, like slightly dampish clay for hand-building pottery.
  • Add parmesan.
  • Fill mushroom caps with mixture (will have to mound).
  • Bake in toaster oven at 250 degrees F. until mushrooms start looking shriveled and ooze juice, getting brown.
  • If unsure, taste.
