Mushroom Appetizers

A long time ago, I was at a work party in a country club. They served these mushroom appetizers called mushroom purses. What I remember about these mushroom appetizers was the mushrooms were in a cheese wrapped up in phyllo, tied with green onion. Those mushroom appetizers were fantastic!

Dinner Party Appetizers

I have been wanting to make dinner party appetizers for awhile. Those mushroom purses have been in the back of my mind. I will admit, I hate working with phyllo.

Phyllo for dinner party appetizers is just a pain to work with. Phyllo is so thin and delicate and I just don’t have patience with it.

Wonton Appetizers

Making wonton appetizers for this mushroom recipe would be easy. Who doesn’t like an easy appetizer recipe? Especially when you are looking for easy finger food ideas. I decided a wonton wrapper would work much better than phyllo for this finger food recipe.
