Baked Breaded Garlic Mushrooms

Serve up a restaurant-style appetizer at home with this guilt free, low fat recipe for Baked Breaded Garlic Mushrooms.

I don’t eat a lot of fried foods; I never really have.

I make exceptions for certain foods when eating out but hardly ever fry things at home and when I do, I always  shallow fry.

It’s not really the calories I don’t find appealing.  It’s the greasy taste and oily residue left in my mouth that’s the biggest turnoff.

Oh, and the mess!

I have a glass top stove, and the sight of splattered grease on it bugs me in an unnatural way.  I clean it every night, and when my husband pan fries himself a steak I honestly have to leave the room to keep from starting a full-blown, marital incident.

What can I say?  I guess I’m a little bit crazy, but isn’t everyone a little bit crazy?

So is it any wonder I didn’t choose to fry this recipe?  Why fry when you can have all the taste without the fat (and mess)?

These little babies are ridiculously tasty.  I could eat them every day.  I mean it.

The garlic mixed with the Parmesan cheese in the coating is a winning combination.  I eat it with sour cream and chive dip, but you can serve them with whatever you choose.

They are great for parties or just for a snack and once you try them, I think you’ll agree there is no need for frying.
