FAQs

Can I prepare these mushrooms ahead of time?

Yes, you can stuff the mushrooms a few hours before baking. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Can I use other types of mushrooms for this recipe?

Portobello mushrooms work best due to their size and sturdiness, but large white or cremini mushrooms can be used as a substitute with good results.

• For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top before baking.
• Make sure to dry mushrooms well after rinsing to prevent sogginess during baking.
• These stuffed mushrooms can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or a light vegetarian main course.
