These one-bite savory party poppers are as delicious as they come. Stuffed with breadcrumbs, salty olives, Parmesan, and lots of fresh basil, humble cremini caps become heavenly. We don’t recommend substituting dried basil for fresh—it just doesn’t cut it. If you can’t find fresh basil, choose another tender-leaved fresh herb, such as flat-leaf parsley, chervil, French tarragon, or cilantro instead. It's unlikely you'll have any leftovers, but if you do, simply reheat them in the microwave for 20 seconds and enjoy one as a satisfying mid-morning or afternoon snack.
