This is a very quick and easy appetizer to put together, it would also make a great finger food for parties. I have listed ingredients below for 12 mushrooms but if you wanted to make it as a finger food you can just up the ingredient amounts. I have also made this with extra garlic in the cream cheese as we love our garlic so take your pick in whether you want to just use the garlic and herb cream cheese alone or whether you fancy adding extra crushed garlic to cheese .
Ingredients
120 g garlic and cream cheese with herbs
12 medium mushroom caps, with stalks removed (I used swiss Brown)
Garlic olive oil
salt and pepper
100 g prosciutto, grilled until crisp and broken into stips
chopped fresh chives (to garnish)
Method
1.Heat oil in a pan, season mushrooms to taste.
2.Add mushrooms to the pan cook both sides until tender, remove and allow to cool slightly.
3.Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese into the mushroom caps, top with the prosciutto strips and sprinkle with chives.
Serve Immediately
Prep Time 15 Min’s
Total Time 30 Min’s

This is the second recipe I had tagged for a game I play on Zaar. It was a very good recipe that was easy to prepare and the end result was delicious. I did use a 500g piece of beef fillet instead of the rib eye or sirloin suggested, as I loved this tender cut of meat and it was on special at the store so I could not resist. Both this and the cat fish recipe were by the same chef and both were truly wonderful recipes so I would recommend you trying them both. I am going to get round to posting some more of my own recipes over the next few days as I have few in back log now. To read more reviews on this recipe or to view more photos please click here. This chef has some really great recipes posted so be sure to check out more whilst you are there.
