Stuffed Mushrooms

























Mushrooms are little powerhouses. They contain selenium, Vitamin D, B2 and B3. They can boost your immune system and have as much antioxidant qualities as red peppers. So eat up folks! I have been making this recipe for years and even are good reheated a second time. They can be made the day before, which is always a time saver...
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded cheese of choice (I like Swiss)
  • 1/2 cup protein of choice (cooked Italian sausage, ham or cooked bacon)
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs (or if gluten-free; this is optional)
  • 15 medium button mushrooms
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Wash and pat dry the mushrooms.  Brush both sides of the mushrooms and place cap-side up on a baking sheet. Roast for 6-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.













Combine the remaining ingredients on a cutting board. Using a large knife chop thoroughly. 

Stuff each mushroom with mixture and bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes until piping hot. I use a large round glass dish and serve from oven to table.

Enjoy!
