Recipe

💥Making Mushroom Stuffing

Heat ½ to 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan. Add 1 teaspoon of the finely chopped garlic.
Sauté the garlic for some seconds on a low heat. No need to brown them.
Then add ⅓ cup of the finely chopped onions.
Begin to sauté the onions on a low to medium heat, till they become light golden or golden.
Add minced garlic.
Now add the finely chopped mushroom stalks.
Mix very well and sauté on a medium heat. The mushrooms would first release some moisture or water.
Saute till the mushroom mixture is dried and there is no water or moisture.
Then add ½ to ¾ teaspoon of crushed black pepper, ½ teaspoon dried basil and ¼ teaspoon dried oregano.
Also season with salt according to taste.
Mix very well and switch off the heat.
Let the mushroom stuffing become warm or cool down. Taste and if required add more herbs, black pepper or salt.

💥Making Stuffed Mushrooms

Now with a small spoon place the stuffing in each mushroom cap.
Top up with some grated cheese. You can use processed cheese,
Grease a baking tray with some olive oil. You can also use butter instead of olive oil for greasing the baking tray.
Place the stuffed mushroom caps on a baking tray.
Keep the baking tray in the preheated oven. If you prefer, drizzle a bit of olive oil on the stuffed mushrooms in the baking tray.
Bake 15-20 minutes.
You need to bake till the mushrooms shrink a bit in size and water starts releasing from them. The cheese will also melt and the color of the mushrooms will darken.
Sprinkle some oregano and black pepper.
Allow to cool for a few minutes and then serve stuffed mushrooms hot as starter dish with any dip or chutney or sauce.
Do not serve after the mushrooms cool down as they become too soggy and soft. So they are best had when they are hot.
