Savory Mushroom and Parmesan Palmiers from Epicurious--our contribution to the Clark Family Christmas Dinner. Very tasty--we give them a 4. Two notes: 1) the recipe lists 6 tbsp of butter, but doesn't say what to do with it. These tasted just fine without it. 2) you want to use a baking pan that diffuses the heat, or the bottoms tend to burn, even if you rotate the pans during baking.
