CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOM APPETIZER



Cheese Stuffed Mushroom Appetizer image

A local restaurant in North Carolina made these. I loved them, but they were horribly expensive. So I figured out how to make them on my own. They are truly rich and delicious. Serve about 6 each as an appetizer. The filling is soft and creamy, if you prefer a firmer filling add an egg white to the cheese mixture.

MUSHROOM ON ITALIAN BREAD - APPETIZER



Mushroom on Italian Bread - Appetizer image

This is a great little appetizer to make - definitely goes down a treat. Given that it depends on how many you are making I am putting down very vague measurements (in truth I dont measure, but make as I go as its easier), so please dont take any notice of the measurements. Basically what you are after is a creamy mushroom topping for the bread, not too runny and not too thick.

Provided by latin1

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 oz mushrooms
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 slices bacon, sliced into 1/8inch strips
1/2 c
1/4 cup mixed herbs(sage, rosemary, thyme)
dash of cayenne pepper
sea salt and pepper to taste
1 # puff pastry
Flour for rolling dough
2 eggs beaten
2 Tbsp butter, cut in small pieces
1 Tbsp minced chives
1 Tbsp chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Slice the mushrooms. Use 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Saute mushrooms in saucepan over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Over medium heat, saute garlic, shallots and bacon for 5 minutes or until bacon is golden brown. Add the herbs and cayenne pepper and remove from heat Combine with mushrooms, toss with salt and pepper to taste. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/8"thick. Cut each half into 20 pieces. Brush each square with eggwash. Spoon onto square. Fold up the four corners. Pull corners up and squeeze edges to form purse. Tie with scallion greens that have been dropped in boiling water for 30 seconds. Tie each purse with a scallion green. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove purses from refrigerator and brush with eggwash. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until golden (10-15 minutes).Remove from oven and sprinkle with chives and parsley

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: For this recipe, cremini mushrooms are recommended as they have a mild flavor and firm texture that holds up well when cooked. Feel free to experiment with other mushroom varieties such as shiitake, oyster, or portobello.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly: Use a damp cloth or paper towel to gently wipe the dirt and debris off the mushrooms. Avoid rinsing them under running water as this can make them soggy.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the mushrooms enough space to cook without overcrowding. If you use a small skillet, the mushrooms will steam instead of browning.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium heat: This will allow them to brown slowly and develop a rich flavor. Avoid cooking them over high heat as this will make them tough.
  • Add butter and garlic: Butter adds a rich flavor to the mushrooms, while garlic adds a savory note. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the skillet. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

These easy garlic butter mushrooms are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great option for vegetarians and vegans.
