• Once browned drain fat and transfer to a paper towel to cool.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with milk and then mix in the parsley, basil, garlic, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.

STUFFED MARINATED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette:
• In a very small saucepan boil Sherry until reduced by about half and let cool. In a bowl whisk together Sherry, balsamic vinegar, garlic, shallot, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and add oils in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in herbs and reserve 1/4 cup vinaigrette for dressing mesclun. Transfer remaining vinaigrette to a large sealable plastic bag.
• Discard stems from mushrooms. Add mushrooms to bag and seal, pressing out excess air. Put bag in a bowl. Marinate mushrooms, chilled, turning bag once or twice, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Make stuffing:
• Finely chop onion and cut prosciutto into julienne strips. In a skillet cook onion in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until soft and transfer to a bowl. Stir in prosciutto and remaining stuffing ingredients and salt and pepper to taste until combined well.
• Remove mushrooms from bag, letting excess vinaigrette drip off, and arrange mushrooms, gill sides up, in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan. Divide stuffing among mushrooms and press gently and evenly into caps. Pour water and Sherry around mushrooms and bake in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until stuffing is golden brown.
• In a bowl toss mesclun with reserved vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste and divide among 4 plates. Transfer mushrooms with a slotted spatula to a cutting board and cut each crosswise into 4 or 5 pieces. Transfer a sliced mushroom to each plate and garnish with Parmesan curls.

PORTABELLA NIRVANA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler. Clean mushrooms, and remove stems, reserving them for later. Marinate the mushroom caps in Italian dressing for 15 minutes. Remove from marinade, and place into a baking dish.
• Broil at least 6 inches from heat for about 10 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure they do not burn. Turn off the broiler, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Chop reserved mushroom stems. Sautee onion, garlic, mushroom stems and celery until tender. Add the crabmeat, and heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet mixture to a medium bowl, and mix in crackers, 1/3 cup of the cheese blend, and mix until well blended. Use some of the Italian dressing marinade to hold the mixture together if necessary. Pack the crab mixture into the cavities of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops, then return to the oven for 3 minutes, or until cheese has melted.

SPINACH & PECAN STUFFED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Place portabella mushrooms, gills up, in a greased baking dish. Set aside.

• Add onions and thyme to pan and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add garlic to pan and cook until softened, approximately 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn your garlic.
• Add spinach and breadcrumbs to pan.
• There will probably be little to no liquid in the pan at this point so you will need to add some water to moisten the breadcrumbs. Add a little at a time until the mixture is able to hold itself together nicely. If you add too much water, just keep the pan over the heat until the water has evaporated sufficiently.
• Add the pecans.
• Remove pan from heat and add parmesan cheese.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide mixture and mound over the portobello mushrooms.
• Add a very light sprinkle of parmesan over the tops, merely for decoration, if you like.
• Bake for 30 minutes until mushrooms are cooked through.
