4. Stuff the Mushrooms

Tips for the Best Stuffed Mushrooms:

• Don’t Overbake: Mushrooms release moisture when overcooked, so keep an eye on them.
• Customize the Filling: Add chopped nuts, cooked ground turkey, or crumbled feta for a twist.
• Make it Vegan: Use dairy-free cheese and skip the breadcrumbs or use a gluten-free alternative.
• Prep Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and stuff the mushrooms just before baking.

Storage & Reheating:

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I grill these instead of baking?
Yes! Grill on medium heat for 8-10 minutes until tender.

It’s optional, but removing some of the gills helps prevent excess moisture and makes more room for stuffing.
