Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms are a popular appetizer made by filling mushroom caps with a mixture of breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and sometimes meat. These tasty bites are baked until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown. Stuffed mushrooms are a great source of protein, fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, potassium and selenium. However, the nutritional value can vary depending on the filling used. They can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet, but should be enjoyed in moderation due to their often high sodium and fat content, especially if made with cheese and sausage.
