Stuffed Mushrooms




Stuffed mushrooms serve as an exotic appetizer, especially when you do not want to sweat out in front of the hot stove frying stuff for your guests. I luv corn & so filled them with corn. You may choose to try different ingredients such as simply onion, capsicum, meat & so on.This is a nutritious option & it tastes so good that you will stuff yourself with these stuffed mushrooms!!
Here goes the recipe:

Ingredients:
Button Mushrooms- 20 nos.
Sweet corn(cooked or frozen, thawed)-3/4 cup
Mozzarella cheese(grated)- 1/2 cup
Bread crumbs- 3/4 cup
Dried Oregano- 1 tspn
Garlic- 1 big clove(peeled & finely chopped)
Olive oil- 3 tspns
Pepper- 1/2 tspn
Salt to taste

Method:
-Wash mushrooms, pat dry & stalk them out delicately.
-Chop mushroom stalks finely
-Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic & saute for 1/2 a min
-Add chopped stalk, corn, oregano, pepper & salt & cook for abt 3 mins
-Let the mixture cool
-Mix in bread crumbs
-Preheat oven at 300 deg F(150 deg C)
-Stuff the mushroom caps with the filling
-Top it with grated Mozzarella cheese. Gently press so that cheese doesn't fall.
-Brush the outer side of the mushrooms with olive oil.
-Place mushrooms on a baking tray, with the stuffed portion facing up.
-Bake for 20 mins & serve hot.

Tips:
1.It is important for the mushrooms to be dry, bcouz it leaves water & if wet, it might turn soggy!
2.If the stuffing is leftover, spread it on bread & make yummy sandwiches & serve it hot with ketchup!!
