Black Olive And Bleu Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms Food

EASY CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375° degrees Fahrenheit.
• Using a damp paper towel, brush all dirt from the mushrooms. Remove the mushroom stems. Cut away and discard any hard bits of the stems, then finely mince them.
• Add the mushroom caps to a rimmed baking sheet or sizeable oven-safe skillet that fits the mushrooms in one layer. Toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil and lightly season with fresh ground black pepper. Arrange them cavity-side-up so that they are ready to be stuffed.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped mushroom stalks, and a pinch of salt. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the onions smell sweet and are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and herbs, then cook for another minute or until the garlic is fragrant. Before the garlic begins to brown, scrape the mixture into a bowl and set it aside to cool.
• Add the breadcrumbs to the same skillet. Place it over medium-low heat, and then cook, stirring, until they are lightly toasted; about one minute.
• Stir the cheese into the onions and garlic mixture, then divide the filling between the mushroom caps. Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top.
• Bake the mushrooms until the cheese has melted and the mushrooms have softened; 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve with chopped fresh herbs and freshly ground black pepper on top.

BLACK OLIVE AND BLEU CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Wash and dry the mushrooms, and remove the stems.
• In a small blender or food processor place the drained olives, the bleu cheese crumbles, shredded parmesan cheese, and tobasco sauce and pulse gently until the olives are finely minced, and the other ingredients have been well mixed with them.
• Remove the mixture from the blender or food processor and place in a bowl.
• Take the mixture and place a generous spoonful in each mushroom cap, on the stem side.
• Lay the now filled mushrooms on a cookie sheet and then place the cookie sheet into a 325 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• When removing from the oven, allow to cool for about 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH BASIL AND BLUE CHEESE BUTTER

• Mix blue cheese, butter, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper thoroughly in a bowl. Scoop evenly into the mushroom caps.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook mushrooms until tender and heated through, about 5 minutes.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Wash the mushrooms and remove the stems from caps. Place on a paper towel to dry.
• In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, green onion, bacon pieces, and blue cheese.
• Stuff all mushrooms with about 1/2 a tablespoon, or less, cheese mixture.
• Transfer all mushrooms to a shallow baking dish and bake for aproximately 20-25 min (very light brown on top).

BLEU CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put mushroom stems in a food processor and process until well minced.
• Add to the softened bleu cheese.
• Fill each mushroom cap with a good amount.
• Place on baking sheet and bake at 350 for 20- 30 minutes.
• I have also made these with Brie and it's good too- if you use a regular cheese (cheddar, swiss, etc.) mix just a tad of mayo or sour cream to the cheese and minced stems or they will be too dry.
