These appetizer bites are earthy and savory. Sautéed mushrooms and a zesty horseradish cream filling make an elegant and flavorful appetizer. Mushrooms are naturally low in calories and a great source of fiber, antioxidants and B vitamins, making them a perfect filling. Simply sauté the mushrooms with herbs and garlic, whip up an easy and creamy horseradish sauce then fill in the phyllo shells.
