Mushrooms Stuffed With Cheese

[sherrardk]

I recently had some of the above and I'm going to make some this evening. Is it just a case of removing stalks and adding grated cheddar and bread crumbs and chucking in the oven or is there more to it than that?

I'd put a bit of crushed up garlic in as well.

Essentially you are in the right ball park.

Seasoning, maybe some crushed garlic too. I'd mix a harder cheese in such as Parmesan as just cheddar could be a bit greasy. Is blue cheese too scary for the family?

When I've done them I've removed the stalks and chopped them up finely with a little garlic and onion ans fried before adding the breadcrumbs, seasoning and when cooled add cheese before filling. Then when filled dip them into a bowl of Parmesan and breadcrumb mix.

Thanks both, I will do it with just the cheese for today (cupboards are bare) and adjust for next time (it will also save on some chopping and frying). Not making them for the kids, just for me!!! Have made them some new recipe bread rolls (fingers crossed they turn out like the ones we tried).

Really lovely with Stilton and wrapped in Parma Ham..... Yummy x

Well, they were pants :(

I tend to pre-cook the 'shrooms, pat dry with kitchen paper and allow to cool. Then stuff with Stilton, coat in tempura batter and deep-fry. Gorgeous with alioli or similar x

The ones I had were basically cooked mushrooms with melted cheese in (it was some sort of cheddar) and the cheese had a tiny bit of breadcrumbs in it - the ones I made were horrid. The mushrooms were cooked but the cheese/breadcrumb mixture was virtually rock hard and the cheese seemed to have disappeared.

Yuuuuuuukkk

I was kind of looking for the greasy snot sort of vibe - I love melted cheddar (as opposed to granite-like, slightly cheesey breadcrumbs that I managed to achieve).

^ Skrivens .. LOL!!!

Were they actually horrid or just a bit disappointing, sher?

[sherrardk]

They were really quite revolting, the mushrooms were fine but the cheesey bit was dry and very crunchy (ok, I didn't put a lot of effort into them). Would have thought making mushrooms with melted cheese in them would have been easier to achieve. Maybe they were ok but they weren't what I was hoping to achieve.

Thanks Joe, I can cook mushrooms but wanted to copy something I recently tried (obviously I failed).

Scrivens, I also like bacon, fried bread, fried apple and melted cheese.

Of course!!! (I don't feed it to my family, I'm not completely bonkers.)
