baked mushrooms

many dates

This is one of the more frequent visitors in my kitchen. I often bake or microwave mushrooms for appetizer-sized snacks, and almost always with cheese. Boursin 'fines herbes' is my favorite for this, but I do occasionally add or use other cheeses.

Do try to find your Goldilocks cooking time: enough to cook the mushrooms without drying them out.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for each serving:

4-6 button mushrooms,
OR 1 medium-large Portobello mushroom
S&P
Boursin or similar
melting cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 ºF.
Clean the mushrooms of dirt and damage.
Remove the mushroom stems. Scrape the gills of large Portobellos.
Mix the ingredients for stuffing beforehand (Pic5+6) and stuff the mushrooms with the mixture,
or stuff in layers.
Bake for 10-25 minutes, depending on how big the mushrooms are.
Alternatively: microwave n high for 3-6 minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
CAUTION: the plates or ramekins will be very hot.

a. baked button mushrooms

various dates

These can be white button mushrooms, or baby portobellos. I do like extra butter for these smaller mushrooms to prevent them from drying out while cooking.
