Gourmet Appetizer Recipes and First Courses

Wash, clean and slice the fresh mushrooms. Finely shred the fresh bay leaves and finely mince the garlic. In a heavy skillet, pour a little olive oil (ca. 1-2 Tbsp) and sauté the mushrooms, garlic and shredded bay leaves until most of 
the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are a light golden brown. Remove and set aside. Stir the cream cheese and freshly chopped herbs and mix with the mushrooms. Serve with toast rounds or plain crackers.
