Notes
Let the balsamic glaze cool slightly before drizzling to achieve a thicker consistency that clings to the mushrooms.
Toast the walnuts or pecans beforehand to bring out their natural nuttiness and add extra crunch to the stuffing.
Prepare the stuffing mixture a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
