Feta & Olive Stuffed Mushrooms
Monday, October 15, 2007
Stuffing:
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- Clean mushrooms and remove stems (chop & save for stuffing).
- In bowl, toss mushrooms caps with about 1 T olive oil & place cavity-side down on non-stick baking sheet.
- Roast 5-10 minutes.
- In food processor, combine mushroom stems, onion, olives, feta cheese, and greek seasoning. Pulse to break up the feta cheese and consolidate the ingredients.
- Drizzle with 1-2 T olive oil & pulse to make it slightly 'doughy'.
- Press stuffing into each mushroom.
- Bake 10-15 mins, until heated through.
- 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.
