MAKE-IT-MINE STUFFED MUSHROOMS
Stuffed mushrooms are perfect party food. Make as many as you need—2 to 3 mushrooms per guest—and try a few different toppers for variety in flavor, texture, and color.
Baking the Mushrooms Place cleaned and stemmed mushroom caps, stem sides down, in a 13×9-inch baking pan. Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a 425°F oven 5 minutes. Drain, stem sides down, on paper towels; fill.
