Feta & Olive Stuffed Mushrooms  

Monday, October 15, 2007

8oz baby bella or white mushrooms

Stuffing:

mushroom stems

4oz feta cheese

4oz chopped black olives

1/4 c finely chopped onion

1 t greek seasoning

olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
   
2. Clean mushrooms and remove stems (chop & save for stuffing).
   
3. In bowl, toss mushrooms caps with about 1 T olive oil & place cavity-side down on non-stick baking sheet.
   
4. Roast 5-10 minutes.
   
5. In food processor, combine mushroom stems, onion, olives, feta cheese, and greek seasoning. Pulse to break up the feta cheese and consolidate the ingredients.
   
6. Drizzle with 1-2 T olive oil & pulse to make it slightly 'doughy'.
   
7. Press stuffing into each mushroom.
   
8. Bake 10-15 mins, until heated through.
   
9. Serve while hot.

TIP: If I want these to be slightly more cheesy, when finished baking, I will top each mushroom with a bit more feta cheese and place under the broiler for 1-3 mins until slightly browned.

Depending on the size of your mushrooms, you may have some stuffing left over. If so, store in air-tight container in the refrigerator for later use.
