Stuffed mushrooms with cheese and herbs

Easy to prepare – baked in the oven or prepared on the grill!

Today I would like to introduce you to a delicious recipe that is wonderful as both a starter and a main course: stuffed mushrooms with cheese and herbs. These little treats are easy to prepare and full of flavor. Whether baked in the oven or prepared on the grill, they are always a highlight. Perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a hearty yet sophisticated meal.

Brown or white mushrooms?

For me the color of the mushrooms doesn’t matter. I buy these depending on availability. There is no difference between how they are prepared in the oven or on the grill. The only important thing is that you choose slightly larger mushrooms so that enough filling fits into the mushroom heads. Easy to prepare and incredibly quick, you can enjoy an aromatic mushroom dish in both a vegetarian and vegan version.

Brown and white mushrooms also do not differ in terms of nutrients: According to the South Tyrol Consumer Center, both types of mushrooms are rich in B vitamins, minerals and vegetable protein. The mushrooms also contain very few calories.

When it comes to mushrooms, I use regional, organic mushrooms from Bad Blumau. Frutura combines traditional agriculture with the latest technology to ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly production. The mushrooms thrive on a 100% organic compost mixture and are grown all year round thanks to resource-saving climate technology. Despite technical support, cultivation remains manual work – the grower monitors the growth of the mushrooms daily with his senses to ensure the highest quality. These environmentally friendly and innovatively produced organic mushrooms from Bad Blumau not only offer an outstanding taste, but also the good feeling of supporting regional and sustainable products.

How healthy are mushrooms for humans?

Mushrooms are not only delicious, but also a very healthy food. For example, they contain vitamins D, B2, biotin and niacin as well as the minerals potassium, iron, copper, selenium and phosphorus. Their calorie content of 15 per 100 grams is hardly significant.

When should you stop eating fresh mushrooms?

When should you stop eating mushrooms? If mushrooms give off an unpleasant smell, they no longer belong in the pan, but in the garbage can. The same is the case if they have dark discoloration or fuzz and/or feel greasy and soft.

How do I store mushrooms correctly?

Unfortunately, the aromatic and popular mushrooms do not stay fresh for long due to their high water and protein content. The frequent packaging in plastic also contributes to the rapid formation of mold as condensation forms. To extend their shelf life, mushrooms should ideally be purchased loose. If this is not possible, remove the plastic packaging immediately after purchase. Contrary to popular belief, the mushrooms are not washed, but placed directly in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. An additional recommendation is to wrap the mushrooms in a dry cotton cloth to preserve freshness.
