Baby Bella Bites

I love the Baby Bella Mushrooms especially for cooking.  When I was at the market the other day they had these beautiful Baby Bella Mushrooms and I stood there looking at them, ( they weren't on my list), and finally decided to get a bag full and develop a recipe that I could serve as an appetizer.  With the upcoming Big Bowl Game, it is a perfect time to present a tasty new recipe to all my friends.

Remove the bread from the oven and let cool to room temperature
Wash and dry the Baby Bella Mushroom's.  In a sauce pan, saute the onion in 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
When the onion is clear, add the mushroom's, and the minced garlic saute on low heat
Mix the Worcestershire, Balsamic, 1/2 cup of the Bread Vinaigrette, and 1/2 cup of water in a small bowl
Add the Worcestershire mix to the mushrooms and stir well, cook on medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes until mushroom are tender and the liquid has reduced.

    I'm just starting to cook with mushrooms more, but this looks like a great appetizer. Of course I think anything on top of bread with cheese is good :)
