Stuffed mushrooms: The irresistible, budget-friendly treat

During the mushroom-picking season, mushrooms might be somewhat overlooked. However, they make a comeback when guests are expected, a family gathering is being organized, or a party with friends is on the horizon. These humble mushrooms then transform into delicious stuffed snacks. They are so tasty that it's hard to resist when they grace the table.

Mushrooms are often stuffed with ground meat, but this recipe is quicker, simpler, and more affordable. Adults will dig in right away, and children may also be tempted. Wild mushrooms should not be consumed before age 12, but cultivated mushrooms can be included in the diet earlier.

All you need are a few simple ingredients that you can usually find in any kitchen: mushrooms, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and cheese. You can prepare delicious stuffed mushrooms that are perfect for a party snack or a light dinner in just a few moments. You can add other favourite herbs to the stuffing, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.

Ingredients:

• 16 large mushrooms,
• 1 large onion,
• 1 clove of garlic,
• 60 grams of grated yellow cheese,
• 60 grams of butter,
• 60 grams of breadcrumbs,
• Chopped parsley,
• Salt and pepper to taste,
• Oil.

Instructions:

1. Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and cut off the stems. There's no need to peel them.
2. Finely chop the onion and garlic. You can press the garlic through a press.
3. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onion with the garlic.
4. Add the chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, and spices, and mix well.
5. Fill each mushroom cap with the prepared stuffing.
6. Sprinkle with grated yellow cheese and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.

Delicious and simple stuffed mushrooms are now ready to eat. You can additionally drizzle them with garlic, cheese, or tomato sauce. Enjoy!

Mushrooms can also be stuffed with other fillings. Ground meat sautéed earlier with onions and garlic, cooked millet or buckwheat with sundried tomatoes, herbs, and nuts, or a mix of finely chopped vegetables, deli meats, and cheese will work well here.
