Herbs Stuffed Mushrooms

So, Autumn is here, and we just arrived at our new home in Lombardy, Northern Italy. Autumn comes with various mushrooms and a beautiful foraging culture. So, let's make the best out of it with this Herbs Stuffed Mushrooms recipe!

Jump to Recipe

Northern Italy comes with a local delicacy: Taleggio cheese. The Taleggio melts beautifully as a young mozzarella and has the intense flavor of aged cheese. I usually make this recipe with portobello mushrooms. However, today I found a mushroom variety that I had never tried: Pioppini, so I decided to give it a try.

Any mushrooms will work

Feel free to use Portobellos as they work wonderfully and play with any soft and melty cheese. They work; I have tried brie and camembert when living in Mexico City, and they worked perfectly.

The key to making this recipe is to use a variety that you can "stuff" either because they are big, like the Portobellos, or because they come in many, like the Pioppino Mushrooms I use here.

Ingredients

• Mushrooms
• Taleggio or brie cheese
• Fried tomatoes
• Pecorino Romano cheese
• Celery
• Spring onion
• Shallot
• Onion
• Garlic
• Herbs
• Basil
• Sage
• Rosemary

Health benefits of mushrooms

There’s no way to go wrong with mushrooms. They’re fat-free, low-sodium, low-calorie, and cholesterol-free. They’re also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Mushrooms are a good source of antioxidants and all the Complex B vitamins, meaning they protect the heart health, are good for the digestive system, maintaining healthy skin, are good for the nervous system, and help the body make the hormones it needs.
