Vegetarian Garlic Stuffed Mushrooms

These mushrooms are a great side for 4, a light meal for 2 or as an appetiser to pass around at a party because they are small enough to be eaten whole. They are best served warm but still delicious at room temperature. Refer to the notes for directions to prepare ahead. Love loading it up with great garlic flavour!
