How to Make Baked Shiitake Stuffed Mushroom Caps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Gently remove the stems from 1 pound of shiitake mushrooms, reserving the stems for another use (optional).
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of goat cheese, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, parsley, and chives), and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Spoon the goat cheese mixture generously into each shiitake cap.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
