Methods of Cooking:

Baking Versus Grilling

Either bake or grill these mushrooms stuffed with mixture. Both methods have their pros:

Baking: It ensures even cooking as well as consistent texture.
Grilling: Adds a smoky taste to spicy stuffing.

Pros and Cons of Every Technique

Optimal Temperature and Timing

The mushrooms should be baked for about twenty minutes at 375F; however, after the first 20 minutes, they may be overcooked so that they must be checked out after each minute.

 

Grilling Process

Setting Up the Grill

Clean grates thoroughly so as not to let mushrooms stick on it. Preheat grill on medium heat.

Tips for Preventing Mushrooms from Sticking

Before placing caps on grill lightly brush them with olive oil which will add flavor and prevent sticking.

Baking Instructions

Place stuffed mushrooms onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender mushrooms appear with bubbly filling.

Remove from oven; cool slightly before serving.

Checking for Doneness

Mushrooms should be tender but not mushy while cheese must be melted and slightly golden browned.

 

Grilling Instructions

Place the stuffed mushrooms directly on the preheated grill.

Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to avoid burning.

Remove from the grill once the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.

Indications of Perfect Grilling

Search for barbecue marks on the mushrooms and a bubbly, gold filling.
