I'd had the ingredients for these lying around all week, but with all the leftovers I've only just got round to making them! Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favourite things to make for dinner, and melting cheese on top of mushrooms is basically the best thing in the world!
I started by chopping the stems off the mushrooms (my least favourite part) and drizzling with oil, salt and pepper and baking for 15 minutes in the oven. Meanwhile, I chopped the shallots and celery (with extremely teary eyes) and fried them until brown and crisp. In went the sundried tomatoes and garlic for a few minutes before taking off the heat. I grated a bit of goats cheese and a bit of cheddar instead of parmesan - parmesan isn't vegetarian after all and its annoying when its included in vegetarian recipes, and veggie parmesan is hard to find sometimes - and mixed this with the cooked veg.
The mixture was piled on top of the mushrooms and topped off with slices of mozzarella. I decided this was easier than hunting out the taleggio cheese, which is likely a bit dodgy for vegetarians anyway. Stick to soft cheeses! And ones you know you like!
Another 10 minutes in the oven and voila! Yet again, served with a green salad. Trying to be healthy with my meals, but it always goes south with dessert. And snacks. And more snacks...
