Pepper Jack Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

PEPPER JACK CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Clean mushrooms, remove stems {save them for another recipe}, and place them in 1 or 2 large baking dishes.
• Combine grated cheese, onions, bell peppers, olives, and tomato paste in a mixing bowl, and stir until well mixed.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of cheese mixture in each mushroom, then bake in oven for ~20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and mushrooms are cooked. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter, and enjoy while still warm.

STUFFED CREAM CHEESE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chopped mushroom stems and garlic in hot oil until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture into a bowl to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper with the mushroom stems and garlic until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.

SPICY SAUSAGE STUFFED MONTEREY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Wash the mushrooms and pat dry with paper towels.
• Remove the stems and set aside (they can be minced and added to the sausage mixture later is desired).
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cook and crumble the sausage in a large skillet until done, drain, and place in a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, jack cheese, crushed red pepper flakes and minced stems if desired. Mix well.
• Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the mixture into each mushroom cap.
• Place the stuffed mushroom caps on a rimmed baking pan, sprinkle with parmesan, and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Serve stuffed mushrooms on a decorative serving platter.
• Sometimes I make them ahead and line a tupperware with papertowels and put them in it. Then they are ready to bake just before the event.
