butter in another saute pan, and saute the mushroom caps until tender,
about 3 minutes. While the pan is still hot, pour in the sherry and
carefully light it with a match. Drain the caps and allow them to cool.
Mound 1 tablespoon of the stuffing in each mushroom cap, and sprinkle them
with the Gruyere cheese. Place caps on a greased baking sheet and bake at
350 degrees for 10 minutes, until bubbling. Serve hot. Serves 4 as an
