This is the recipe that won our Iron Chef Lin 2011 for my brother.

• 5 PINTS OF BUTTOM MUSHROOMS
• 4 ITALIAN SAUSAGE LINKS
• 8 ounces CREAM CHEESE (room temperature)
• 2 YELLOW ONIONS MINCED
• 5 GARLIC CLOVES MINCED
• 5 ounces ASIAGO CHEESE SHREDDED
• 7 tablespoons OLIVE OIL
• 3 tablespoons BALSAMIC VINEGAR
• SALT & PEPPER

 

1. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and pull out the stems and discard. Toss the cleaned de-stemmed mushrooms with 5 tbs of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Set aside and cool.
     
2. Slit the Italian sausage and remove casing. Crumble in a heated pan and saute until golden brown. Break up into small pieces while it is cooking. Set aside and cool.
3. Add the remaining 2 tbs of olive oil in a saute pan and add the onions. Cook until dark and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Then add in the garlic and cook for a minute.
4. Now add the cooked sausage, onions and garlic, cream cheese, salt & pepper, and 3 oz of shredded Asiago cheese to a bowl and mix well with your hands. Break apart any large pieces of sausage.
   
5. Line up your mushrooms in a greased baking dish with the core side facing up. Stuff each mushroom with a generous portion of the creamy sausage mixture. Top the mushrooms with the remaining Asiago cheese.
   
6. Now put the baking dish in a pre-heated oven at 375 degress for roughly 45 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden brown. (This dish can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and put in the cooler unitl you are ready to put in the oven.)

Croc-a-dile

So here's my review of the Croc-a-dile eyelet punch and setter (I bought this at Michael's but you can also buy it here from Amazon).  I don't have experience with any others but I do like this one. Here's a review if you don't have any experience with eyelet punchers/setters. (Buy eyelets online or at craft stores. Be sure to buy the right size!)

So this croc-a-dile has two hole punching options... 1/8 and 3/16. This picture shows the 3/16 puncher.

Once you have punched a hole, you can place your eyelet in the hole and it should fit just perfectly in there.

You'll notice two black squares at the tip of the croc-a-dile.  You can actually pull each one out and rotate them to your preference. On the left side (you see an arrow and some sort of icon), there is option A, B, C, and D.  I only see a use for option A and C so if someone else wants to tell me what the other sides are for... please do. I mostly used side A because I only used 3/16 eyelets for my wedding programs. I'm assuming side C is for the 1/8th eyelets? The image below shows option C on the left and option A on the right.

On the base side, there is option 1, 2, 3, and 4. Once again, you can pull out the black box and rotate it. The base you want should be the one facing down (toward the other black box).  Depending on the base, the back of the eyelet could look different. Here's a view of each side and the resulting back.

Base 1. This option is okay if the back of the eyelet isn't going to be exposed to anyone. It's very harsh and can scratch someone who's not careful.

Base 2. I don't see too many differences between 2, 3, and 4.  It has a smooth back and looks fine. It looks thicker and more round than 4 in this picture  but it's quite flat.

Base 3. Even though these pictures are really zoomed in, it's hard to actually see the differences in person. So 2 and 3 are very similar. It feels flat and smooth.

Base 4. The base for 4 is also very similar to 2 and 3 but its a bit more raised than the other two. It doesn't quite look that way in this picture so I took another one from the side.

In this image, you can see that I placed side A through the eyelet on the bottom. Once I set my BASE, I just squeeze it and I'm done!

This is the method I used to hold my wedding programs together and let it slide open. Be careful about having paper that is too thick or having too many papers. If it is too full or too tight, it will not be easy to slide the wedding programs open. Another suggestions is not to squeeze too tightly when you close your eyelet. If you look carefully at the Base 3 image, I squeezed a bit too hard there and created a circular paper wrinkle around the eyelet. You'll get the hang of it once you do it a couple times so do some practice runs before using your real paper! Have fun!
