This weekend we were invited to a friends house for a birthday celebration, I was asked to bring an appetizer…so, I was thinking, what can I bring that would be easy, delicious and different. I have found that most stuffed mushrooms are stuffed with a mixture of Parmesan and bread crumbs.
I found a great recipe using pesto and thought I’d go that route and I have to say…no was was disappointed! While the recipe recommended making your own pesto, I was short on time and just used store bought pesto from Costco and it worked out just fine.
This recipe was so simple to make…my daughter even helped.
Here they are pre baked…
And here they are on a platter, I used some basil as a garnish.
Ingredients
- 30 small Mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed
- 1 cup Pesto sauce (I used prepared pesto sauce)
- 4 oz Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- While your oven is preheating, clean your mushrooms using a brush, do not wash them...remove the stems and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place a small dollop of the prepared pesto into each mushroom cap. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place the cheese on top, place back in the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes more to melt the cheese.
