Almost Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms

I love Olive Gardens Stuffed Mushrooms. They are almost the only reason to go (bread sticks and salad aside of course). However, you get 6 mushrooms for $7. With this recipe, you get 16, for about $5.

Ingredients:
16 baby Bella mushrooms
1 green onion, chopped
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Minced Garlic (mince yourself, or use pre-minced)
1/8tsp Garlic Salt
1/3cup Italian Bread Crumbs
1tsp Oregano
1Tbsp Melted Butter (cooled)
2Tbsp Freshly Shredded Parmesan Cheese
4Tbsp Grated Italian Blend Cheeses (yes, bagged cheese. Seriously, it's cheaper and easier)
1Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning

Garnish:
1/4cup Italian Blend Cheeses
1/2 cup Melted Butter
Parsley Garnish (if wanted)

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Wash your mushrooms
