These were absolutely incredible! I had just been wanting a way to use up zucchini, but these are a new favorite. I used regular cheese and mayo (not low-fat), and I sauted the zucchini (plus the chopped mushroom stems) in a little butter. Plus, I rubbed a little olive oil around each mushroom cap. After I stuffed the mushrooms, I topped them with a bit of provolone, then broiled them until the cheese melted. Yum!
