Best 6 Stuffed Mushrooms With Pesto Sauce Recipes

PESTO-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1) Prepare the pesto sauce by mincing all ingredients in a food processor 2) Remove the gills (i.e. black insides) from mushrooms. This step is very important, as it keeps the mushrooms from getting soggy 3) Mix breadcrumbs and pesto sauce 4) Spoon pesto mixture into each mushroom cap 5) Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper 6) Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400F FYI: - Steps 1-2 can be done in advance - These reheat very well - I will sometimes bake with campari tomatoes (on the vine) to add colour - I initially only made these with portobellos, but I find that the white mushrooms for stuffing are just as good and they are smaller and less expensive - These can be made dairy with parmesan

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, and carefully scrape away the gills using a spoon. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the olive oil mixture over the top each mushroom and place, top-side up, on a grilling pan. Mix pesto and pine nuts with the mushroom stem mixture together in a bowl; spoon into each mushroom. Sprinkle Italian cheese blend over the filling.
• Grill mushrooms on the preheated grill until edges are blackened and stuffing is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Pulse blender a few times before blending until mixture is finely ground, scraping down the sides of the pitcher with a spatula as needed; scrape into a mixing bowl. Stir Parmesan cheese through the blended mixture.
