I’ve been making these for years.
Originally I made them with cream cheese (the real, full-fat stuff) and bacon (also the real, full-fat stuff).
They were delicious and a standard nibble to pass around with a glass of wine.
I’ve updated them a bit…. But just a bit and so, so simple to make.
Make small ones for cocktail nibbles; larger ones to eat with knife and fork for a first course.
Use any dry-cured ham….. Or bacon.

Progress has been made in the pantry.
Yes, yes, he’s working on the shelves….
But the progress that made me happy was getting the appliances in place…..
Specifically, the little fridge at the end.
We had to replace our refrigerator this summer and, unfortunately, we discovered that a mere 2 inches shorter in height caused us to lose a significant amount of interior space. We don’t have enough room for an ‘American’ which is what the side-by-side fridges are called here and the biggest one that fit was still smaller than the one we replaced.
Anyway, we bought another, small, under the counter fridge for additional storage. We use it for milk, yogurt, fruit juice and insulin.
It’s been out in the barn.
It’s been cold these last few weeks and we’ve both been getting rather tired of having to run out to the barn to get a yogurt.
We are most pleased.
With the weather being so cold there have been other, temporary, changes as well.
Mon mari set-up a work bench in the TV room.
He says it’s because it’s too cold to work in the barn, glue not setting right and so on….
I think it’s so he can watch the ‘true crime’ shows on TV while he works
Even though they’re red, they are not Christmas decorations.
They’re clamps.
He’s making the cabinet doors – thus the clamps and glue.
That’s my exercise bike in the corner of the photo – it’s normally in the pantry, but he moved it out of his way.
So I have to watch his true crime shows while I exercise.
Sigh…..

Despite the cold, impressive progress !! Mushies look delicious too.
Yesterday on laptop, today on phone, everything looks good tech and eating wise. Love theses mushroom
And pantry!
I love watching the house come together. And the table, it’s such a small thing. Be glad he’s not working on a Harley motor in the middle of your living area 😉 The shrooms look wonderful. I’m trying new things before our Christmas eve dinner to decide on which hors d’oeuvres to serve so it’s been an adventure in eating around here lately 🙂
Progress is always a delight. We are going to redo our kitchen this winter. I hope it goes quickly!
Love your progress and yes it is terrific that the fridge is now close by. I love your stuffed mushrooms too Katie.
Kate, thanks – on both counts
Tanna, thanks…. on all counts 😉
nightmusic, it sounds like a fun eating adventure – my favorite kind. I’m worried that he might move the big mower in after the holidays to work on that…. Sigh… I shouldn’t have said yes the first time LOL
Zoomie, a kitchen redo is exciting – and such a pain while it’s happening LOL
Thanks, Penny…. slowly it comes together.
last night I was at a restaurant to celebrate a friend’s mom’s 90th B-day and had mushrooms and cheese as a first course; this is a reminder of how great they are and for so little effort!
tasteofbeirut, they really are a great starter with very little effort!
