# Ingredients:

01 - 24 white button or baby portobello mushrooms.
02 - 1 1/2 cups of pub cheese with herbs.
03 - 1/2 cup of Parmesan, grated finely.
04 - 3 slices of provolone cheese, chopped roughly.
05 - 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup of half-and-half, kept separate.
06 - 1/2 cup of panko crumbs.
07 - 1 cup of white cheddar, softened to room temp.
08 - 1 tablespoon of regular flour.
09 - 2 tablespoons of dry white wine.
10 - 1/4 teaspoon of Worcestershire.
11 - 1/8 teaspoon of dry mustard powder.
12 - A pinch of ground black pepper.
13 - 1/2 cup of mayo or sour cream.

# Steps:

01 - Coat cheddar shreds in flour. In another bowl, mix mayo, wine, Worcestershire, mustard, pepper, and half and half.
02 - In a double boiler, warm the mix up for 15 minutes. Add cheddar gradually, stirring until it’s all smooth. Keep it warm.
03 - Wash mushrooms and pop the stems off. Fill each one with plenty of herb cheese but stop short of filling to the top.
04 - Blend provolone, Parmesan, and a bit of half-and-half. Warm up in microwave, stir in panko crumbs, and let cool till firm.
05 - Spread the cheesy topping over the mushroom caps, then line them all up on a baking tray covered with parchment.
06 - Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip the tray halfway so they cook evenly.
