Baked Baby Bella Mushrooms

Do you ever play around in the kitchen and come up with something that's a riff on another recipe but you like your rendition a lot better?

Did that sentence even make sense?
I have a recipe for Garlic Baked Mushrooms that I love, but this rendition, OMG good, as well.  

I found some Baby Bella Mushrooms on sale last week, bought them, then realized that the menu plan for the week, really didn't lend itself to having mushrooms added to it.

But...

I did have Tapas, so I pulled the mushrooms out, washed, and halved some and quartered some others and decided that they might make a nice addition to Tapas.

I think I was right, cause they disappeared in short order.

All I did was put them down, turn my back for a couple of minutes and the plate was empty!

I love it when that happens.

Not really a recipe here, just a how to.
 Melted about 3-4 tablespoons of butter, and added three crushed, chopped cloves of garlic and one shallot cut into very thin slices.   Warmed the garlic/shallot mixture up
Shallots and Garlic
and then poured it over the mushrooms, tossed them up a little and baked them in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

Had to take a picture before I put them out.
And I did snag one before all the other people ate them.
These would be so good as a side to a steak or ...
I bought some more mushrooms before the sale ended.   I have plans for them.  'giggle'.
