Blue Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

I absolutely love the tart taste of this yummy appetizer! Even if you're not a blue cheese fan, give it a try!

What you need:
12 small mushroom caps (I used white button mushrooms)
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

What to do:
1. If your mushrooms have a stem, pluck them off. (Chunk 'em or clean 'em & throw them into your spaghetti sauce!) 
2. Using a wet cloth or towel, clean the insides of the mushroom caps. Avoid soaking the mushrooms in water as they will absorb the moisture. You really just need to wipe off/out grime and dirt from the inside and outside of the mushrooms.
3. Broil the mushrooms for about 3 minutes.
4. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and stuff blue cheese crumbles into the caps. 
5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 8-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted. If you're feeling adventurous, combine some bacon bits with the blue cheese crumbles. 

**Carefully enjoy this app as it the melty cheese and juicy mushrooms will be HOT HOT HOT!!
