Tips for making stuffed baked mushrooms
These mushrooms are pretty easy to make, but we do have a few tips:
- Be careful with the mushrooms, as they can fall apart easily. Gently wipe them down with a paper towel to clean.
- Use a spoon to pop out the stem of the mushrooms. Then, scrape out the sides to remove any ribs and make room for the sausage.
- Only cook the stuffed mushrooms for the 7-10 minutes as indicated. Watch them carefully at the end and pull them out before they get too soft.
- If needed, you can prep these in advance and bake them later. Just follow the steps and fill up the mushrooms with sausage. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake them.
