Cute as button

Feeling puckish at 4pm,too late for lunch while dinner is a good two-three hours away...Rummaged through my pantry,hey,the sardine and grilled button mushrooms may make a good combination....or so I though...haha...Hence,I came up with sardine cheesy grilled button mushrooms...good for a nibble without ruining appetite for dinner,by serving on a bed of fresh lettuce for extra crunch,topped with low fat-cheese,it is light on the palate and light on calories...haha...

Extra sardine mixture can be kept overnight in the frige for a yummy sardine the next morning

Grilled cheesy sardine buttons
1 packet fresh button mushrooms,rinsed/wipe clean,remove the stalks.
