Steps:
- Wipe the mushroom caps clean. Remove stems completely.
- Rinse the roasted red pepper. Pat dry. Slice into thin strips.
- Put oven rack in lower one-third of oven and preheat to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss mushroom caps with oil, salt and pepper. Lay gill side down on sheet. Roast until they release juices and shrink, about 25 minutes.
- Remove them from oven. Let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, flip, fill with cheese and place a few strips of red pepper on top. (At this point, they can be covered and chilled for up to 2 days. You may need to cook them a couple extra minutes tho.).
- Bake until mushrooms are hot and cheese is melted and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove to serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use large, flat mushrooms for stuffing. This will give you more room to work with and make it easier to eat the mushrooms.
- Roast the red peppers yourself. This will give them a smoky flavor that store-bought roasted peppers cannot match.
- Use a sharp knife to mince the garlic and parsley. This will help to release their flavors.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and versatile appetizer or side dish. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize them to your liking. The roasted red peppers and Manchego cheese in this recipe give the mushrooms a smoky and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for an easy and impressive dish to serve, give these stuffed mushrooms a try.
