cheese appetizer recipe

Cheesy, garlicky, savory, and delicious portobello mushrooms stuffed with melty mozzarella cheese, sweet cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil!

Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms

butter, (melted)

parsley

garlic, (minced)

salt, (divided)

pepper, (divided)

cherry tomatoes

mozzarella

basil

balsamic glaze

Preheat oven to 400˚F.

Prepare the mushrooms by gently popping off the stems. Then, using a spoon, remove the brown gills from inside the cap. Wash the mushroom caps and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Melt butter in a small bowl and whisk in parsley, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Brush the garlic butter mixture all over the mushrooms.

Transfer mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until softened.

Remove mushrooms from oven; arrange previously prepared cheese balls and tomatoes inside each mushroom cap. Place the cheese and tomatoes close together. You can always add more, or use less, tomatoes and cheese.

Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.

Remove from oven.

Top mushrooms with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Serve.

Do you have parties coming up? During the holidays especially, I attend so many parties and make so many different appetizers and party foods. I thought that I would try something easier than what I normally take, something that doesn’t take long to make, and so I came across these cheese pinwheels. Let me tell you, they are such a hit. Not only are they quick and easy to make, they are absolutely delicious and just one tortilla makes so many! If you need to make a batch big enough for a huge party, you just use an entire package of flour tortillas and alter the recipe.
