Cheesy Loaded Mushrooms Food

CHEESY LOADED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Cover baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Reserve 1/4 cup shredded cheese for later use. Combine remaining shredded cheese with all remaining ingredients except mushroom caps; spoon into mushroom caps. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Carefully transfer baking sheet to oven, being careful to not let mushroom caps roll or tip to the side.
• Bake 18 to 20 min. or until golden brown.

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 9x13-inch baking dish. Gently pop off the stems of the mushrooms. Discard the stems or save for later use. Then use a damp paper towel to brush off the dirt on the mushroom tops. Do rinse them in water.
• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, smoked cheddar cheese, diced red pepper, onion, and garlic together. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix well.
• Use a spoon to pack the cavity of each mushroom with cheese filling. It's ok if it pops over the top a little. (But not too much or they will look messy.)
• Press each cheese-stuffed top in grated Parmesan cheese to create a crust. Then set them in the baking dish, cheese-side-up. (It's okay if they are tightly fitted in the baking dish, because they will shrink while baking.)
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tops are puffed and golden. Serve warm.

CHEEZY MUSHROOM MELT

Steps:

• Chuck Hughes makes this melt for breakfast or lunch: creamy, earthy and cheesy, you can't go wrong!
• For the mushrooms: In a saucepan on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onions and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, or until slightly brown. Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add veal stock and simmer for another 5 minutes until liquid has reduced. Remove from heat and add parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the bechamel sauce: Meanwhile, in a saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and mix with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and continue cooking until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Add Gruyere cheese and keep at a medium low heat until it is completely incorporated. Set aside.
• For the melt: Butter each piece of bread on one side. Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the unbuttered side of the bread, top with cheesy bechamel sauce and cover with another slice of bread. Place in a frying pan on medium heat and cook for about 2 minutes on each side.
• For serving: Remove, cut in half and add a spoonful of remaining mushroom mixture on top. Garnish with more grated cheese as desired and serve.

CHEESY, STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
• Roast the mushrooms: Arrange the mushrooms, stem side up, onions and garlic cloves in a single layer on 1 prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil. Drizzle 1/2 cup water around the mushrooms on the baking sheet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast in the center of the oven until the mushrooms shrink in size and become darker brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove and let cool.
• Bread the mushrooms: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of water. In another medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the granulated garlic. Dip each mushroom in the egg mixture and then coat completely with the breadcrumbs. Reserve everything.
• Fry the mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat until it begins to smoke. Add the mushrooms in a single layer. Cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oil and arrange in a single layer on a clean baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic cloves and onion slices with the cheese. Add any remaining egg and 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs leftover from the breading. Add the basil and mix well.
• Assemble and bake: On the same baking sheet, place 2 portobellos, stem-side up, with some distance between them. Pile half of the filling on each and then top with the remaining mushrooms, pressing gently but firmly down, so it forms a fairly compact sandwich. Bake until the cheese melts, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Arrange the lettuce to form 2 cups. Drizzle some pickle juice and red wine vinegar into the cups. Season with salt and pepper and then top with some sliced pickles.
• Place each mushroom burger onto a bottom bun. Flip a lettuce cup onto each burger and top with the top bun. Serve.

CHEESY MUSHROOM STACKS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top position, 3 inches below the broiler. Preheat the broiler. Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Brush the rounded side of the mushroom caps with the garlic oil and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, gill-side down.
• Stir together the breadcrumbs, oregano and remaining teaspoon oil in a second small bowl; set aside.
• Broil the mushrooms until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn each cap over, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and broil until just softened, about 1 minute. Top each with a tomato slice, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and broil until the tomatoes are softened and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture and broil until the breadcrumbs are browned, the mozzarella is melted and the mushrooms are fully cooked, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.

SUNNY'S SPINACH AND CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat, constantly tossing and stirring, until the cheese melts and everything is mixed together, another 2 to 4 minutes. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• For the topping: In a food processor, add the breadcrumbs, walnuts, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pulse to combine, then, with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture should be crumbly and easy to sprinkle.
• For the mushrooms: Stuff each mushroom with an equal amount of the filling. Sprinkle an equal amount of topping over each mushroom. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

CHEESE & GARLIC-FILLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Twist and remove the stalks from the mushrooms. Place them, cap side up, on a small baking tray.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and, once it starts to froth, stir through the garlic and cook for 1 min. Blitz the slice of bread to fine crumbs and add to the pan. Cook, stirring for 2 mins, until lightly toasted.
• Transfer to a bowl and cool before stirring through the finely grated Parmesan, chives and seasoning. Spoon into the mushroom caps, drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 10 mins until slightly softened and the tops turn golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LOADED POTATO AND MUSHROOM BAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• For Potatoes: Peel potatoes, cut in half, and boil in salted water until tender, but firm. Drain and dry thoroughly by shaking over heat until moisture disappears.
• Mash potatoes using electric mixer. Add salt, nutmeg, pepper, cream cheese, butter, eggs, baking powder, hot milk and roasted garlic puree. Beat until fluffy. (you may need a little extra liquid to get these nice and fluffy). Stir in cheddar cheese cubes, but don't mix so much that the cubes melt into the potato mixture.
• For Mushrooms: Saute mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter until browned and all liquid has evaporated. Season generously with salt and pepper and add thyme.
• Butter a pie plate and line bottom and sides of plate with about 1" mashed potato mixture. Fill centre with mushroom mixture, cover with remaining potato mixture. Brush top with melted butter and dust with smoked paprika.
• Bake in a preheated 400F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
• *** Light cream cheese, skim milk and light cheddar cheese can be used to cut back even more on calories and fat ***.
• (This dish can be prepared in the morning, covered with plastic wrap and left at room temperature until baking time.).

CHEESY STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Broil the mushrooms on the baking sheet stem-side-down for 5 minutes to soften. Remove from the oven, and turn the mushroom caps over. Place a dab of the steak sauce into each cap, then place a piece of brie on top. Return to the oven, and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

CHEESY STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pulse the fresh bread in a food processor, then transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, salt and pepper (I use about 3/4 teaspoon seasoning salt or white salt).
