1    cup finely chopped Vidalia onion
1    pound Portabella caps, finely chopped
3/4    cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4    cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2    cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2    egg yolks, beaten

2    tablespoons Italian seasoning

Directions

Preheat over to 350 degrees F.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onion and mushrooms 6 to 7 minutes, or until softened. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, parsley, egg yolks, salt and Italian seasoning.

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan. With a rolling pin, flatten each piece of bread and cut into 4 squares. Dip each square into melted butter and place in mini-muffin cup. Top each with a scoop of the mushroom mixture.
