Mushrooms are one of my very favorite food, and recently, my husband and I were out to dinner and had stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. It made me wonder if I could make my own version and here you have it. This is a delicious vegetarian dish that could be served as an appetizer or a meal. It would also be a great addition to you holiday table this year. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 6 portobello mushroom caps
- 6 small mushrooms finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of butter

- 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs

- 8 ounces soften cream cheese
