Ingredients

  • 3 ounces day-old white bread (about 3 slices) crusts removed
  • 2 scallions white and light-green parts only, roughly chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and roughly chopped
  • 3 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 ounce dry Monterey Jack or Parmesan grated on small holes of box grater
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 48 button mushrooms (about 1 1/2 pounds) stems removed and caps cleaned

Directions

  1. Pulse the bread in the bowl of a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl. Place the scallions, bell pepper, and goat cheese in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped and well combined. Transfer mixture to the bowl with the bread crumbs, and stir. Stir in the cilantro, half the grated Monterey Jack, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oven to 350 degrees; position rack in the center of oven. Place mushroom caps, cups facing upward, on a large cookie sheet. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of stuffing mixture into each cap. Bake until mushrooms are tender and filling is hot, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms, turn oven to broil, and position rack about 4 inches from broiler. Sprinkle mushrooms with remaining grated cheese, and broil until cheese is golden, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

    I made these for a christmas party. They were a hit. I thought they were a bit salty so I'll use less next time.
