Ingredients:
- 24 mushroom caps: Choose fresh, firm mushrooms for the best results.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Adds a sharp, tangy flavor.
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese: For a creamy and mild taste.
- 1 cup mayonnaise: To bind the mixture and add creaminess.
- 1 bunch of scallions (3-4), finely chopped: Provides a fresh, crisp flavor.
- Salt and pepper to taste: For seasoning.
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional): Adds a savory, smoky touch (you can use pre-cooked bacon for convenience).
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s hot enough to bake the mushrooms perfectly.
-
-
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and finely chopped scallions. If you’re using bacon, add it to the mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
-
Add Mayonnaise: Gradually mix in the mayonnaise, half a cup at a time. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy but not too soupy. You might not need the entire cup of mayonnaise, so add it slowly to achieve the right consistency.
-
Season the Mixture: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning to your preference, making sure the mixture is flavorful.
-
Stuff the Mushroom Caps: Spoon the cheese and scallion mixture into each mushroom cap. Pack the filling generously but avoid overstuffing to ensure even cooking.
-
Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking, which can make the mushrooms soggy.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these scrumptious stuffed mushrooms warm as an appetizer or a delicious snack!
Tip: To save time, consider using pre-cooked bacon. Simply heat it up in the microwave before crumbling it into the mixture. This will help reduce mess and streamline the preparation process.
