Reviews
I substituted the carrot for 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs and 1 tsp garlic. The stuffed mushrooms came out amazing!
I didn’t have carrots or peppers so I added some panko breadcrumbs. Very tasty. I recommend slicing a little bit off the bottom of the cap before stuffing. I did not and when I pushed the door shut they fell over and lost the cheese topping.
Made as written except that in the ingredient list is calls for the mushroom stems and caps to be diced. Don’t dice your caps or you won’t have a vessel for your filling. These were pretty good and they turned out very pretty but I’m not sure I was loving the carrots in the mix. With that being said, if using carrots I recommend using red or green bell pepper instead so there is more color in the finished dish. Overall good recipe and one I will make again.
