🥘 Description: These portabella stuffed mushrooms are a delightful addition to any brunch buffet table. Bursting with flavor, they’re a perfect blend of savory ingredients. Feel free to swap Parmesan for cheddar if that’s more to your liking. This recipe, born from a spontaneous morning creation, is a testament to the joys of experimentation in the kitchen. However, be warned, omitting the garlic might tame the dish, but it won’t deliver the same bold taste!

For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding two tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce to the pepper mixture before filling the mushrooms.

📋 Recipe Instructions:
- Heat the butter in a skillet.
- Brown mushroom caps: Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the portabella mushroom caps to the skillet. Brown them on both sides until they develop a rich, golden hue. Once done, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel.
- Cook onions, chopped stems & garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions, mushroom stems, and minced garlic. Cook them until they soften and become fragrant.
- Add peppers: Introduce the yellow sweet peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, allowing their flavors to mingle with the other ingredients.
- Prepare mushroom caps for baking: Place the mushroom caps in an oven-proof dish, readying them for their final baking.
- Optional prep: At this stage, if you’re preparing in advance, you can pause the recipe. Resume cooking about 10 minutes before serving.
- Sprinkle cheese: Generously sprinkle cheddar cheese over the waiting mushroom caps, ensuring each one is generously coated.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffed mushrooms for approximately 8 minutes or until the cheese is perfectly melted and starts to bubble.
- Broil: Switch your oven to broil mode and let the mushrooms broil for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the cheese to turn golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Once done, carefully remove the mushrooms from the oven, and serve them immediately, hot and savory, ready to delight your brunch guests.
These Portabella Stuffed Mushrooms are not only quick and easy to prepare but also pack a punch of flavor that will leave everyone coming back for seconds. Enjoy the tantalizing blend of mushrooms, cheese, peppers, and onions in every delicious bite!
