It’s Tuesday, guys. Monday is over, but we’re not quite halfway through the week yet. Friday still seems so far away, so I thought I’d start today with some wine. Yes, it may only be Tuesday, but wine is definitely needed, especially when it’s paired with a tasty appetizer. Am I right or am I right?
 
I’ve mentioned before that the hubster and I are wine lovers. We mainly gravitate towards the sweet, white wines, but on occasion, we’ve been known to venture into the land of reds. We belong to a wine club through a local restaurant and winery in our area, so we’re constantly stocking our overflowing wine rack with even more bottles to drink. Not a bad problem to have, right?

So when I was given the opportunity to try a variety of wine from Garnacha, I could hardly contain my excitement. It’s one of the oldest and most planted grapes, first originating from Spain. And not only does it come in a variety of styles and flavors (which is perfect for my taste of white and the occasional red wine), but Garnacha is also perfect for celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or just for when you feel like getting fancy and whipping up an appetizer. 
 
You can also feel good about drinking Garnacha because of its environmentally-friendly grape variety and because the price just right. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

After trying a sample of each wine, I couldn’t wait to pair it with an appetizer. And that’s where these Parmesan Mushroom Bites come in. Filled with fresh mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkling of spices, these bites are packed with flavor and make the perfect treat for any occasion. By using a store-bought crust, you can have these prepped and ready in no time!
 
Not only are these Parmesan Mushroom Bites a breeze to whip up, but they pair perfectly with the Garnarcha wine. I mean, what goes better with wine than some finger foods? I chose to serve these bites with a Red Garnarcha. It’s smooth, aromatic, and all-around delicious. 
 
And the prep time for these Parmesan Mushroom Bites couldn’t be easier. I used a store-bought pizza crust as the base for these bites. Simply cut the dough into pieces and line it into mini muffin tins.

Now comes the fun part, the mushrooms! I could eat mushrooms every day, so I had to restrain myself from not devouring the entire mixture before it hit the oven. To make the mushrooms, simply chopped some fresh mushrooms and saute in some melted butter Add in some heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and chives. Let’s the mixture come together and then place into the center of each muffin tin. Pop those babies into the oven and let it work its magic.
 
These Parmesan Mushroom Bites look fancy, but in reality, you can have these prepped and ready to be devoured in about 25 minutes. And that’s a winner in my book!

The flaky crust and savory mushroom mixture create the perfect, pop-able bite. Top these bites off with some fresh chives, and you have a tasty and delicious treat. It’s perfect to serve with Garnacha wine for whenever you are hosting a party, get-together, or just want to indulge in an easy treat.

  14. I would eat the entire tray of these if a bottle of wine were involved. They look completely delicious, and then the wine would, ahem, "encourage" me to totally pig out on them. Sounds like a good evening plan, actually. Fantastic appetizer, Gayle!

  16. Such a perfect appetizer, especially as we begin to think about holiday gatherings that are just around the corner. Plus - we're always looking for lovely nibbles with our wine! Love this, Gayle! Thanks for sharing!

    • Hi Debby! I think you will love these! I made these bites and served them the same day, although I did store the leftovers in the refrigerator. The crust wasn't as crisp as the day before, but the taste was not affected at all. I hope you enjoy these!

  24. Mushrooms are my favorite! I didn't like pizza as a kid, but my parents would always get mushrooms on the pizza and I picked them all off and just ate them and no pizza. I was one strange kid haha. I'm also a huge wine lover, so snacks like these are a must!

    • Haha I don't think I know anyone who doesn't like pizza! :) But you did like mushrooms, so that makes up for it! :) Thanks for the kind words, Keri!

  28. These are such fun little bites! I actually don't drink a lot of wine... I am kind of a girly drinker so it has to be pretty mellow and sweet (and maybe have an umbrella sticking out of it... Lol) but I think this is the perfect combination!

  32. I'm not much of a white wine drinker...it's all about the red for me. :) Mushrooms are always delicious with red wine, and I eat them all the time. This is such a fun appetizer perfect with a nice glass of red!

  35. I wanted a more substantial serving as a side for dinner so I stuffed crescent rolls with the filling and baked according to package directions. None were left when dinner was over.

    • I'm so glad you enjoyed these, Jennifer! That's a fantastic idea for adding the filling to crescent rolls, I'm definitely going to try that out next time. Thanks for the tip and for stopping by!
