Stuffed Pizza Mushrooms
Ingredients
Serves as an entree for 4
- 12 medium size white button mushrooms
- Breadcrumbs from 1 slice of raisin bread
- 2 eggs
- A handful of olives, pitted and chopped
- A handful of shredded cheddar cheese
- A dash of olive oil
- A pinch of allspice
- Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
- Half a teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt flakes and black pepper to taste
Instructions
These are great as a side dish, stater or as cocktail nibbles. The egg makes it very light while the other ingredients give it a robust, almost meaty pizza flavour despite it being vegetarian.
It's very adaptable - just put in a different mixture of spices for a different flavour. It's also super quick to make if you chop everything up with a food processor. I use a stickmixer with a chopper attachment.
This recipe initially started of as an experiment - my mushrooms were about to go off. I didn't realise they would smell/taste like pizza until they were cooking. In hindsight, looking at the ingredients, I really should have known. I also discovered that they go great with chicken chilli sauce!
- Brush dirt off off mushrooms.
- Snap mushroom stems off. Chop roughly.
- Combine all the ingredients together and spoon into the mushroom caps, pressing down well to fill out the whole cap and then molding extra filling into neat mounds.
- Bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes until the cheese is nicely browned. Serve hot.
