Mushroom Spread

Mushroom Spread

It seems this time of year everyone is looking for more appetizer ideas. This is a great one. Mushrooms chopped fine and cooked down into a spread. Great with crusty breads or crackers and full of rich flavor. I usually end up making a double batch right away. Partly because mushrooms cook down a lot and also because everyone eats it up quickly.
