Thank you for posting Wildflour! These were delicious. They were pretty easy to make although it took me more that 10 minutes preparation. There was a lot of "stuffing" left over so I could make two cookie sheets full and I'll make another batch tomorrow. Very yummy. Everyone enjoyed. Best right out of the oven for sharpest flavors. Enjoy them they are great. ChefDLH

All I can say is Wow!!! They are sooo delicious!! Instead of big mushrooms I used bunch of small ones and did not change anything else. I love all kinds of stuffed mushrooms and this is a first time I've made them myself. I could not stop eating. The filling is full of flavor and very creamy. I added extra mozzarella cheese on top in the last 3 minutes of cooking. I will make this recipe often! Thank you for a great treat!

I served these with pesto tortellini and grilled salmon, as a side dish, rather than appetizer. They have a nice flavour and the ricotta makes them very creamy. I probably wouldn't hollow them out next time and just pile the stuffing on top, as they went very flat in the oven, which I assume was because of taking the whole stem and gills out. Thanks for sharing!
