Stuffed items are always my favorites. It’s time to share
with u, my recipe for Stuffed Mushrooms..
I first tasted this dish in an
Italian restaurant..& I just loved
it…J Mushrooms are great
source of Vitamin D. This is a great vegetarian dish(with onion & garlic) and
for strict vegetarians, the onion & garlic part can be skipped. There are a
lot of varieties in stuffing..but I used this simple and easy one. Hope each one of u will love this..:)
Here goes
the recipe…
Ingredients:
White button mushrooms– 10 pcs ; 1 small sized onion
(finely chopped) ; 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped) ; Garlic powder ; grated
Parmesan cheese ; Cream cheese spread ; Sliced Swiss cheese ; olive oil .
I used medium sized mushrooms, but it’s better to use
bigger ones.
Procedure:
1)Pop out the stems from the mushrooms & peel off the skin from the mushroom pods. Wash
them & pat them dry.
2)Take a frying skillet & heat 1 tsp of olive oil in it. Now add the chopped onions & garlic
into it. Sauté them in high flame. Add a
pinch of salt. As the onion turns golden brown in colour, add 2 & 1/2 tsp of cream
cheese into it. Mix the cheese nicely & turn off the gas & pour the
mixture in a dish.
3)Now in the same frying skillet, heat 1 more tsp of olive oil
& add 1 tsp of garlic powder into
it. As it starts to sizzle, lightly fry the mushrooms & keep aside. Allow
them to cool.
5)Cut the Swiss cheese slices according to the size of the
diameter of the mushrooms.
4)Now it’s time for stuffing. Take each of the mushrooms
& to its concave(hollow) side- add 1
teaspoon of the onion & cream cheese mix ,then sprinkle grated Parmesan
cheese over it. Finally cover the top with Swiss cheese slices. Repeat this
step for all the mushrooms.
5)Take a baking tray & place an aluminum foil in it.
Sprinkle few drops of olive oil over it. ( You can also use any oil spray). Put the stuffed mushrooms in the tray. Be sure not to place the mushrooms very close to each other. Maintain a gap between them.
6)Preheat the oven to
375 degree Fahrenheit & bake
the mushrooms for 10 -12 mins.( Mushrooms will leave water from them.)
7)Serve the stuffed
mushrooms, sprinkling pepper powder or tandoori masala powder from top..!! J
