Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
12 large mushrooms
2-1/2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp finely chopped yellow onion
3 tbsp chopped ham
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Bechamel Sauce:
1-1/2 tbsp flour
1-1/2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk

3 Tbsp parmesan cheese
Fine, dry unflavored bread crumbs
Directions:
Directions:
Slice off the ends of the mushroom stems. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Detach the stems and chop them fine.

Preheat the oven to 500°.

In a skillet, saute the chopped onion in the butter until pale gold in color. Add the ham, mushroom stems, salt and pepper and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Tilt the skillet and draw off all the fat with a spoon.

Make the béchamel sauce by cooking the flour, butter and salt together until golden brown and thick. Slowly whisk in the milk until a thick sauce is formed. Take care to do this slowly so lumps do not form.

In a bowl, mix the contents of the skillet with the béchamel sauce and the parmesan cheese.

Fill the mushroom caps with the stuffing on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle each mushroom with bread crumbs.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a slight crust has formed. Allow to settle for about 10 minutes before serving.

Personal Notes:
When first married, probably around 1984, Blaine and I went to a party where a friend made dozens of these and kept bringing them out of the oven. I think we must have eaten 20 of them that night. She gave me the recipe, and it's been a hit every time I make it.
