| Ingredients: 1 lb. mushrooms store bought Pesto sauce olive oil 2 tsp. granulated garlic 1/3 cup Ricotta cheese (optional) Finely shredded Mozzarella cheese |
Directions: Clean and destalk the mushrooms so only caps remain. In about 1/4 cup olive oil, mix the garlic and coat the mushroom caps. Mix the ricotta if you are using it into the pesto sauce. With a tsp, fill the caps with the mixture to their tops. Lightly sprinkle the Mozzarella over the tops, and either grill them indoors or out for 10 minutes, or bake them in a 350F oven until mushrooms turn brown and cheese melts, about 15-20 minutes. If baking, you may want to run them through a broiler for a few minutes at the end to get a golden brown color on their tops. Serve warm. |
