These baked mushrooms are so juicy and delicious, that they are on my family’s request list almost every other week. While I usually make the plainer version with sundried tomatoes, shallots and cheese as the filling, I had fun upping the gourmet factor by adding my favourite escargots and truffle oil for a truly pampering treat. The results look good enough for a fancy restaurant, enjoyed at the comforts of home. This recipe can be made in about 30-minutes, thanks to the convenience of using canned escargots, and the oven doing the bulk of the work.
