Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Mushrooms

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Next, take the 10 medium-sized mushrooms and carefully remove their stems. Make sure to do this gently to avoid damaging the caps. Chop the stems finely and set them aside for the filling.

In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped mushroom stems, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and the 100 grams of cheese. It is highly recommended to use a natural cheese for the best flavor.

Step 2

Stuff the Mushroom Caps

Once your filling is ready, begin stuffing the mushroom caps generously with the mixture. Make sure to pack it well to utilize every bit of flavor. Once all the caps are filled, place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle 50 grams of cheese over the top of the stuffed mushrooms. This will create a deliciously cheesy crust as they bake.

Step 3

Bake the Mushrooms

Place the tray in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and turned golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

As they bake, the aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these cheesy baked mushrooms as a delightful appetizer, snack, or side dish!
