How To Make Stuffed Mushrooms
These lasagna stuffed mushroom caps use cottage cheese instead of ricotta for a more affordable option, just make sure to drain the cottage cheese before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
- Mushrooms: Wash and prepare portobello mushrooms
- Sauce & Cheese: Make sauce and cheese mixture and set aside.
- Assemble: In the mushrooms, layer the cheese mixture, meat sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese.
Stuffed Mushroom Tips
- The key here is to make sure the cheese and eggs are blended well enough to not soak the mushroom. Once the sauce is on, a quick sprinkle of mozzarella and parmesan melted in the oven will ‘seal the deal’ and you’ve got the perfect lasagna stuffed mushrooms ready to go!
- Be sure you are selecting firm mushrooms with a deep cap, firm ridges on the inside and no cracks so the filling doesn’t ooze out while it bakes. They’ll still taste great, just not look perfect!
- Don’t wash mushrooms under running water because they will easily soak up moisture and get soggy. Instead, carefully wipe off any dirt with a damp paper towel or mushroom brush, keeping them as dry as possible. Remove the stems and either chop them up to add to the filling or add them to leftover greens for a flavorful stock!
How Long to Cook Stuffed Mushrooms
The key to cooking these amazing lasagna stuffed mushrooms is to NOT overcook them. Make sure the cheese filling is adequately melted enough to blend everything together and pre-heat the sauce before topping onto the mushrooms.
Keep enough space between them as they are baking so the cheese doesn’t make them stick together.
Leftovers?
These little beauties are perfect on their own and not only hold up well on a buffet table but reheat perfectly with a little extra cheese!
To store just place in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. To keep these yummy mushrooms from getting soggy it is not recommended to freeze them. But with something this delicious I doubt you’ll have to worry about that!
