Instructions
-
Prepare the Mushrooms: Begin by removing the stems from the mushrooms. Carefully set aside the mushroom caps (crowns) for stuffing later. Chop the stems finely.
-
Sauté the Stems and Shallot: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and finely diced shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and the shallot becomes golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Mix the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, crumbled blue cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked mushroom stems and shallot mixture, making sure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Stuff the Mushroom Caps: Carefully fill each mushroom crown with the blue cheese mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it holds together.
-
Add the Crumb Topping: Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed mushrooms with the remaining bread crumbs (3 tablespoons).
-
Bake the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Blue Cheese Mushrooms make for a fantastic appetizer or a flavorful side dish.
