In a Nutshell:

Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 15 Min
Cook: 30 Min
Mushrooms (Culture) 400   Grams
Butter 1.5   Tbsp
Garlic 2   Clove
Salt 1   Tsp
Black Pepper 1   Tsp
Fresh Thyme 2   Sprig
Kashar (Cheddar) (Grater) 125   Grams
Olive Oil 2   Tbsp

Steps:

  1. Pull out the stems of the cultivated mushrooms you have chosen coarsely.
  2. Clean the mushrooms by rubbing them with a damp and clean cloth. Do not wash the mushroom as it is a vegetable that absorbs a lot of water due to its spongy structure. It will cause loss of flavor of the mushroom.
  3. Chop the mushroom stalks you separated into small pieces.
  4. Melt the butter in a pan and sauté the chopped mushroom stalks together with the finely chopped garlic until the juice has evaporated.
  5. Add salt and pepper. Finely chop half of the fresh thyme and add to the mortar.
  6. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the hollowed-out mushrooms on the tray with the hollows facing up.
  7. Apply olive oil to the mushrooms with the help of a brush and pre-cook for 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Divide the stuffing you have prepared into the mushrooms with the help of a spoon and bake for another 10 minutes.
  8. Grate the cheddar cheese with the fine side of the grater.
  9. Spread the cheddar cheese on the mushrooms just before serving. Put it back in the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts, and garnish the mushrooms with the remaining fresh thyme. Serve hot. Bon Appetit!
