Cheesy mushroom caps makes one of the excellent starter.My sister Durga suggested me about this dish many a times but somehow I wasn’t confident to go ahead.But this time when hubby dear had brought fresh mushrooms and this recipe from cheries stolen recipes fell into my eyes and I tried it immediately.The dish was cheesy infused with garlicky flavor and it was fingerlicking good.This recipe is a keeper.The spinach mushroom sauce which we prepared here can be used to prepare pasta which I tried successfully.You may also stuff the mushroom ahead and bake it when required.I used processed cheese but you may also use Mozzarella cheese.

- Turn off the flame and keep the stuffing ready.
- In another pan heat a tbsp of butter and saute mushroom on high flame adding little salt.
- Mushroom will release lot of water,keep it on high flame and cook it.
- Cook it until the water evaporates.
- Once done,place it on a baking tray.
- Add a tbsp of filling carefully.
- Top it with grated cheese.
- Preheat the oven at 180 d.c.
- Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese melts.
- You may also stuff the mushroom directly and bake. *

My notes:
- I tried both the methods of stuffing mushroom
- I prefer sauteing mushroom first and then stuffing it, as stuffing mushroom directly will release water while baking and it will take more time to bake.
