Are mushrooms healthy?
Mushrooms are naturally low in fat, calories. and are cholesterol-free. Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins such as riboflavin (B2), folate (B9), thiamine (B1), pantothenic acid (B5), and niacin B3) as well as copper, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.
This makes mushrooms a good appetizer for the holiday.
Tips for Cooking Stuffed Mushrooms
- I recommend a stuffing that is completely cooked and just needs to be warmed.
- When cooking these mushrooms I wait until almost all of the liquid that the mushrooms have released in the bottom of the pan has evaporated before adding the cheese on top for the last step.
- You can make and refrigerate these mushrooms up to 24 hours.
You’ll more than likely have more filling than necessary. I over-stuff the mushrooms. The filling is thick and ideal for mounding up.
