How to bake Mushrooms stuffed with veggies and cheese:
  • Wipe the mushrooms clean with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Carefully remove the stem/stalk of the mushrooms, making a well for stuffing.
  • Finely chop onions, green onions, bell peppers and celery. Discard the seeds of jalapeno pepper and finely chop it. If Jalapeno is not available, you can use any other peppers/chilies or red chili flakes as well.
Veggie Stuffed Mushrooms
  • Stuffing: Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add onions and sauté until onions soften. Now add bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, garlic powder, Italian herb seasoning and oregano. Sauté for a minute or two. Lastly add green onions, parsley, fresh ground black pepper and salt. Sauté for about 2 minutes or until all veggies are cooked. Let this veggie stuffing cool.
Vegan stuffed Mushrooms
  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F. Grease a baking tray using olive oil or butter or cooking spray. Brush the cleaned mushrooms with 1 tbsp oil or butter and place them on the greased tray. Stuff each mushroom with the cooked veggies. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until mushrooms turn brown.
  • Top all the baked mushrooms with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese just melts. Bake it longer if you want the cheese to turn golden brown.
Serve Veggie and Cheese Mushrooms as an appetizer.
