• 40 white button mushrooms
• Slices of provolone cheese (enough for topping each mushroom)
• 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the mushrooms evenly.
2. Prepare Mushrooms: Rinse and dry the mushrooms thoroughly. Carefully remove the stems from each mushroom cap and use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills, creating space for the filling.

6. Bake Mushrooms: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and mushrooms are tender.
7. Optional Broil: For a beautifully browned topping, broil the mushrooms for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Notes

• For added flavor, mix cooked and crumbled bacon or diced jalapenos into the filling mixture before stuffing.
• Make it spicy by adding a splash of hot sauce or sprinkling red pepper flakes on top before baking.
• To make this dish vegetarian-friendly, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth in the filling (if you modify the cheese mixture accordingly).

• These stuffed mushrooms can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before baking.
