Stuffed Mushroom Appetizers

These stuffed mushroom appetizers move fast at a party, probably because the basil, capers, and walnuts taste great together. We like to have these in our party menu because they are a vegetarian option.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F
Brush dirt from mushrooms
Remove mushroom stems. They should snap off pretty easily.
Mix remaining ingredients. Test it and add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon mixture onto bottom of each cap, and place on baking sheets. If the mushroom caps vary in size, it is best to group the big ones and then the small ones. The small ones will cook in less time.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Use tongs to move them to a fancy serving dish.
