Cheese stuffed mushrooms are one of those delicious dishes everyone should master, but it takes time to figure out the perfect recipe.
If you’re still on a quest to find yours, food blogger Sommer Collier came up with one that might be the perfect fit. The Cheese stuffed mushrooms recipe on her blog A Spicy Perspective includes three different types of cheese and roasted red peppers that add a pop of zest and color to this tasty dish.
Ingredients
- 30 medium raw button mushrooms
- 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups shredded smoked cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, drained and diced
- 2 tablespoons onion, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- While waiting for the oven to preheat (to 350 degrees F), remove the stems of the mushrooms, use a paper towel to get rid of the dirt, and rinse them in water.
- Mix the rest of the main ingredients – the cream cheese, smoked cheddar cheese, diced red pepper, onion, and garlic – in a medium bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper to the mixture and stir it all together.
- Fill the mushrooms with the cheese mixture using a spoon, and create a crust by topping each one with grated parmesan cheese.
- Place the mushrooms inside a 9×13-inch baking dish, with the cheese-side-up.
- Bake until the tops are golden, for approximately 30-35 minutes, and serve while warm.
