Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

MUSHROOMS – You can use cremini, button, baby bella, or portabello mushrooms. Be sure to keep an eye on them in the oven depending on the size you use.

FILLING – These tasty morsels are stuffed with loads of melty cheese, onion, parsley, and basil with a splash of Vermouth. Optionally add in some minced garlic. We used mozzarella cheese and parmesan, but you can substitute the mozzarella with cream cheese if desired. Feel free to play around with different cheeses here! In place of Vermouth, you can use chicken or beef broth.

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

3. Cook chopped mushroom stems and onions in 1 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in parsley, basil and Vermouth. Simmer 10 minutes or until wine is absorbed; remove from heat; cool for 5 minutes. I spread mine out on a plate for fasting cooling.

Before You Begin
