Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mushroom mixture. You can substitute the cream cheese with goat cheese for a tangy twist. If you prefer a lighter option, use olive oil instead of margarine. Be sure to finely chop the mushrooms to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.
