OK, OK, this is a little twist to our usual "Happy Hour" feature. It's not a drink but a recipe with the words "Happy Hour" in it. But it is a good appetizer to eat while drinking and it does have wine in it, so I think it fits.
It's Happy Hour Mushrooms, and utilizes monterey jack cheese, garlic, butter, wine, soy sauce, and Ritz Crackers. Full recipe after the jump.
Happy Hour Mushrooms
10 medium mushrooms
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons shredded monterey jack cheese
2 tablespoons dry white wine or red wine
1 tsp soy sauce
1/3 cup fine cracker crumbs (such as Ritz)
Remove stems from mushrooms and reserve for another use. In a small pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter; brush over mushroom caps, coating thoroughly. In a small bowl, stir together remaining 4 tablespoons butter, garlic and cheese until blended; stir in wine, soy and cracker crumbs until well blended. Place mushrooms, cavity side up, on a rimmed baking sheet; mound filling in mushrooms, pressing in lightly. Broil about 6 inches from heat until bubbly and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
