These garlic and cheese stuffed mushrooms make for a great starter, or an indulgent side dish.
Our garlic and cheese stuffed mushrooms take just five minutes to prepare and can be baked in I5 minutes, so they’re a great fuss-free option for a dinner party – or a quick and tasty snack. Coated in cheesy breadcrumbs with parsley, we suggest adding a dash of mustard to give your stuffed mushrooms some extra heat. If you’re not a fan of the meatier Portobello mushrooms in this dish, opt for chestnut mushrooms instead. The same recipe will make twice as many and each mushroom will only be a mouthful, making them great to serve as party canapés as well.
