Baked Cremini Baby Bella Mushrooms Recipes

SAUTEED BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS (& MORE RECIPES!)

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms, then slice them. Chop the fresh thyme and oregano.
• In a saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often (the mushrooms will start to release their liquid at this point).
• Add the herbs and kosher salt and pepper and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is cooked out and the mushrooms are tender. (Taste to assess doneness.)
• Turn off the heat and add lemon juice and stir. Taste and add another pinch salt as necessary.

PERFECT ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Clean the mushrooms and pat them dry. Slice the mushrooms in half. In a large bowl, toss them with the olive oil, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mushrooms in a single layer on top.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Serve topped with fresh herbs.

PECAN-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and with 1 tablespoons of the butter, lightly butter a 13 x 9 inch shallow baking dish.
• Trim the ends from mushrooms stems and carefully separate the caps and steps, reserving both.
• Place the caps, stemmed sides up in the prepared dish.
• Melt remaining butter in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, finely shop the stems and add to melted butter along with the minced garlic and oregano or sage; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the pecans, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute; slowly add in 1/3 cup cream and bring to a gentle simmer, remove from heat.
• Sprinkle the inside of the mushrooms caps with remaining salt and pepper, divide the filling among caps, drizzle with remaining 2/3 cup cream and bake until filling is browned and mushrooms caps are tender, about 30 minutes.
• If desired, stuff mushrooms and reserve the 2/3 cup cream, cover dish and place in refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, drizzle with cream and bake as directed above.
• Serve warm drizzled with pan juices.
