Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms


  • Author: David

Ingredients

Scale

To make the perfect Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 12 large mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms:

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the mushrooms cook evenly and the cheese melts perfectly.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, and olive oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Take each mushroom cap and stuff it generously with the prepared mixture. Make sure to press the filling firmly into the mushroom caps to keep everything in place.
  4. Bake: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese becomes bubbly and golden brown.
  5. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: If desired, drizzle the baked mushrooms with a balsamic glaze before serving. This adds a sweet and tangy contrast to the savory filling.
