Stuffed Mushroom Recipe

I am not a big fan of mushrooms, but some dishes made certain way make them taste so delicious. Stuffed mushrooms is one of my go to snack whenever I want something quick and easy.

What I love about this recipe is that you can make so many variations that every time you will think you are eating a different dish. Since we are vegetarians, I make it with different veggies every time. This one is a delicious combination of cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, red peppers and garlic.

These stuffed mushrooms are a great appetizer, especially for special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can even prepare the stuffing two days ahead of time and refrigerate. To clean the mushrooms properly, wash them and drain in colander. Then clean them with damp paper towel.

I sometimes use butter instead of olive oil. Of course I make sure to burn those extra calories by running an extra mile or two. You can try adding cayenne pepper to the garlic mixture, which gives just perfect amount of kick to this recipe.

If you like to add some green, sprinkle the stuffed mushroom with chopped cilantro before putting it into the oven.
