Mushroom Rollups

1 loaf sandwich bread
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup butter – at room temperature
3 Tbs Flour
1 C Half & Half
2 dashes garlic powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp MSG (Accent)
2 tsp chopped chives or green onions
1 tsp lemon juice (or more)

Remove crusts from bread; using rolling pin roll each slice of bread until thin & flat. Sauté the chopped mushrooms in the butter for about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour until well blended. Stir in the cream and let cook, stirring consistently until the sauce thickens. Stir in the garlic, salt, MSG, chive and lemon juice. When blended remove from heat. Roll up in bread and bake at 400 for about 10 minutes. Can also serve warm with crackers.

I have made this recipe at home and don’t use the MSG – it tastes just as good to me.
