You may think that I am exaggerating with the title of this recipe, but trust me when I say that I'm not. These really are the best stuffed mushrooms you'll ever have.
I needed to make an appetizer for a dinner at my local fire department earlier this week and stuffed mushrooms was one of the first things that popped into my head. I knew that I wanted them to be a little spicy since they were going to be eaten by firemen, but beyond that I wasn't sure, so I went to the internets for ideas. Google pointed me towards several different recipes with cream cheese based stuffing and I wondered why I'd never heard of them before. I love cheese so it only seems natural to use cream cheese for the stuffing. Thus my recipe began to take shape.
I decided on using sriracha to add the spice to the recipe because it has a slight sweetness to it and I knew that would compliment the cream cheese well, along with the white wine I had also decided to use. If you're already familiar with sriracha and you are worried about how spicy it is, feel free to dial it back a little. I only used about a tablespoon and a half for 32 ounces of mushrooms (which was about 72 for me, but the number of mushrooms in an 8 oz package varies widely from package to package) but I wound up with a slight warmth for the spice level, which I think was perfect. I think if you added much more heat than that it would cover up the great balance of flavors going on in these mushrooms.
