Stuffed Mushrooms
Baby bella mushrooms are stuffed with garlicky, herby breadcrumbs and plenty of cheese. They make for an easy appetizer or a simple side dish. Stuff them ahead of time and bake them off when you’re ready.
INGREDIENTS
Cooking spray, for pan
1 1/2 lb. baby mushrooms
2 tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Remove stems from mushrooms and roughly chop stems. Place mushroom caps on baking sheet.
