Stuffed Mushroom Treats????????

Mushrooms:

• Mushrooms:  You may use cimini mushrooms, but button mushrooms work great too.
• Oil + Vinegar: Just a teaspoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar flavors these mushroom caps really well. Feel free to use avocado oil and any fruity vinegar instead.
• Spices: A pinch of salt and pepper seals the flavors of the mushrooms.

Filling:

• Cottage Cheese:
• Vegetables: assorted bell peppers, onion, and jalapeno give a crunch and add a pop of color. Use any color of peppers and onions you like. Deseed the jalapeno to make it mild.
• Spices: A combination of salt, coriander powder, and paprika adds a beautiful, earthy flavor to the filling. Add a few dashes of cayenne to add some heat. If you don’t have coriander powder, substitute it with half the quantity of cumin powder.
• Herbs: I prefer to add chopped cilantro, but any chopped herb will work here, including parsley, basil, or dill.

How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms

Clean and Prepare Mushrooms

1. Using a damp cloth, gently wipe each mushroom until it is clean.
2. Gently snap off the stem from the mushrooms pulling sideways, leaving the mushroom cap hollow.
3. Press the edges of the mushroom wall inwards to widen the cavity for stuffing.

Season Mushrooms and Prepare Filling

• In a bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar and Keep aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine chopped peppers, onion, Jalapeno, cilantro, shredded cottage cheese and spices.
•  Mix everything until it is well combined.

Stuff Mushrooms

• Stuff the mushroom caps generously with the filling.
• Use the back of the spoon to press the filling into the mushroom cavity and pack it in.

Air Fry Mushrooms

Air Fryer: Place the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 320°F for 9-10 mins, depending on the size of your mushrooms.
