Stuffed Mushrooms with Feta Cheese
These popular Stuffed Mushrooms are intended as a single-serving treat, but if you increase the ingredients, they can be perfect for your holiday table or Christmas Party. While this version is vegetarian, you could easily up the protein by adding ground, sautéed Turkey Sausage — a single link for one serving does the trick.
