Happy Birthday, Casey!

Wednesday was our friend Casey's birthday.  His wonderful wife was throwing him a surprise party that evening and I needed to quickly come up with a simple dish that could be prepared in less than thirty minutes.  Some of my friends are gluten free, others are vegetarian.  I wanted to prepare something that everyone could partake of.  I also needed to be sure that the dish was a finger food and not messy.  Nobody likes standing around at a party in need utensils, napkins and a bib (unless it is a crab or craw fish boil!)  I decided on baked, stuffed mushroom caps.  Filled with artichoke hearts, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes, black olives and topped with chopped pine nuts and a sprig of rosemary they were baked to perfection.  The best part, they took me less than thirty minutes to prepare after a long day at work!
Baby Bella Mushrooms, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Feta Cheese, Artichoke Hearts, Black Olives, Pine Nuts





All ingredients are coarsely chopped in the food processor.






Stuff each mushroom, stems removed.
Drizzle with a bit of EVOO and Balsamic, then bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
