Questions
What type of mushrooms should I use for stuffed mushrooms?
Regular white or brown button mushrooms can be used to stuff. I used Organic brown mushrooms.
What cheese should I use?
I used cheddar cheese. You can use a combination of blend cheese or cream cheese.
Why are my mushrooms soggy?
Make sure you dry well after rinsing mushrooms. If you rinse and cook immediately your mushrooms will turn soggy.
What can I stuff inside mushroom?
Use any type of vegetables, that goes well with mushroom. You can stuff tofu for vegan stuffed mushrooms.
My mushrooms leave lot of water while baking?
Yes, mushrooms tend to leave water out while baking or cooking. If you do not water leaking inside the oven you can cook mushrooms in the pan and then bake.
How to bake mushrooms?
Arrange mushrooms in a grill rack and place them above a baking tray. Since mushrooms leave the water, the water will be collected in the tray which yields a mess-free oven and crispier mushrooms.
Meal prep for stuffed mushrooms
You can make these stuffed mushrooms up to the point that you would bake them. And freeze them in freezer-safe bags and can be stored for up to 3 months. Bake them directly from frozen, allowing a few extra minutes of baking time. Add fresh panko bread crumbs on top for extra crispiness.
