Stuffed Mushrooms

Mushrooms yum, mushroom stuffed with cheese heaven. One of the things I ate during my first visit to the US was cheese stuffed mushrooms. One bite and heaven! Back home mushrooms were sparingly used in pizzas and to my knowledge everyone grabbed for the slice with the most mushroom and olives.

 
Its been a quiet sunday for M and I, watched the awesome '24' on netflix. The weather was pretty cool, and I was in the mood for something with cheese and the thought of stuffed mushrooms was very tempting. Once I was done with the mushrooms, with the leftover stuffing I made stuffed jalapenos. They were oh so good...I'm adding another post with the recipe for that one...

 

 
Prep Time - 10mins   | Cooking Time - 30mins   |  Serves  - 2

 
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Italian-style dried bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino romano
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tblsp chopped cilantro
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 14 large white mushroom stemmed
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

 
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. 

 
Stir bread crumbs, pecorino romano, garlic, salt pepper, cilantro and 2 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Drizzle and coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Spoon the filling into the cavity of the mushroom and arrange on the baking sheet. Drizzle remaining oil over the filling of each mushroom. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden on top, about 25mins. Serve. 

 
PS : I additionally topped mine with some extra grated cheese.
