To tell you the truth, I can never make enough of these tasty stuffed mushrooms because everyone in my family loves them, especially my 11-year-old daughter who has been a vegetarian for the past 2 years.
We love to eat them with a little side salad and slices of baguette bread to soak up the delicious olive oil the mushrooms have been baked in.
I am actually quite generous with the amount of olive oil that goes into the baking dish.
If you are not to keen on too much olive oil, you can use just a little bit. The result will be still delicious.
The combination of roasted cherry tomatoes plus the mushrooms is divine. So please, don’t skip the tomatoes. Trust me on this one.
To give these mushrooms a different flavor, you could add a bit of soft goat cheese with the cream cheese. Or, experiment with different herbs, add maybe a few chili flakes. Anything goes in my kitchen…
Best of all, the prep is just 15 minutes and the mushrooms are ready to eat in around 30 minutes. Quick, easy, and tasty. But you will still impress friends and family with this vegetarian dish.
