How to make the healthy stuffed portobello mushroom recipe

For this 5 ingredient recipe you will need the oven and the skillet. You will roast the walnuts in the oven. Here are a few tips about preparing this recipe that will make it taste even better.

Prepare the mushrooms in advance –Trim the stem off of the mushroom and wash and dry them. Consider doing this step well in advance so that they have ample time to dry out completely. The more dry the mushrooms are, they better the dish will be.

The Goat Cheese –Dice goat cheese into small chunks while it is cold. Goat cheese is tricky to cut up but it is much easier to deal with when it is cold. If dicing it is challenging, just use your hands and tear it into small pieces. After you have it in the small pieces spread it out on a plate and allow it to come to room temperature.

About the Stuffing –If you have time to prepare the stuffing in advance do so and then place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. This will allow the flavors to meld together and it will be even tastier.

Can you freeze stuffed mushrooms?

Yes, you sure can but you want to freeze them before you bake them.

Prepare the mushrooms and stuff them but don’t cook them first.

The dirt will sink to the bottom of the container.

Then remove them from the water and pat them dry on a clean cotton cloth.

How do you keep mushrooms from getting soggy?

A tip to keep stuffed mushrooms from getting too soggy is to pre-bake the mushrooms in the oven at 325 degrees for 5 minutes.

Place the cut mushrooms caps down on a baking sheet.

This will allow the moisture to drain from the mushroom.

After they are done in the oven place them on a paper towel and allow them to cool.

How long will uncooked stuffed mushrooms keep in the refrigerator?

Uncooked stuffed mushrooms can keep in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.

If you plan to keep them in the fridge any longer than that, don’t assemble them in advance.

Instead store the prepared stuffing and the cut mushrooms separately.

Stuff the mushrooms right before you plan to make them.

How long will cooked, stuffed mushrooms keep in the refrigerator?
