Prosciutto-Stuffed Mushrooms

OK last week was not one that I cooked dinner every night so at the end of the week I still had my Costco package of  baby bella mushrooms and being party of 2 needed a way to use them pronto ! I decided to make stuffed mushrooms to bring to a friends as an appetizer. I found this recipe from The Food Network by Paula Deen. I had fresh tarragon and it added a nice pop --it didn't over power the mushrooms.


3 (8-ounce) packages fresh baby bella mushrooms, wiped clean
2 tablespoons butter
1 (5-ounce) package prosciutto, chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon ( I used 3/4 t chopped fresh)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Finely chop enough mushroom stems to equal 1/3 cup. Discard the remaining mushroom stems.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the prosciutto, chives, and chopped mushroom stems. Cook, stirring frequently, until the prosciutto is crisp and the stems are tender, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese, mustard, lemon zest, tarragon, and pepper, stirring until the mixture is combined. Remove from the heat.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the mushroom caps; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
