Yet another recipe that is more improvisation each time than it is specific recipe. Again, I've been making these for ages, and don't think I ever saw an actual recipe. A friend of mine taught me to make these as a vegetarian option for a feast about 10 years ago, and I've morphed it several times since then. Still, either modern or medieval, they're really tasty.
Take some mushrooms and pull out the stems. White mushrooms work; Chestnut, or brown, mushrooms are even better.
In a medium sized bowl, mix some soft cheese (sheep or goat cheese gives great flavor, but regular cream cheese will work, too) with bread crumbs, garlic, and herbs. If you like, you can add finely chopped chicken, fried bacon or pancetta, crab or shrimp. Add a raw egg to the mixture to help hold it together even better.
Stuff the mixture into the top of the mushrooms and set the mushrooms on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake until the tops are well browned and the mushroom is hot through, generally about 20 minutes or so at 180C/350F/GM 6.
