"Sajtos sült gomba," or "cheesy baked mushrooms," is a simple and delicious appetizer or side dish. This recipe features mushrooms topped with a flavorful cheese mixture and baked until golden and bubbly. Here’s a straightforward recipe for making cheesy baked mushrooms:
Ingredients:
- 12-15 large button or cremini mushrooms (or any large mushrooms you prefer)
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup (25 g) breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like parsley, thyme, or chives)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
-
Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside. Finely chop the mushroom stems for the filling.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, minced garlic, and a tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Stuff the Mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Spoon the cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, packing it in slightly.
-
Drizzle with Oil: Drizzle the remaining olive oil or melted butter over the stuffed mushrooms to help them crisp up during baking.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese topping is golden and bubbly.
-
Serve: Let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Cheese Choices: You can mix and match cheeses based on your preference. Parmesan adds a nice sharp flavor, while mozzarella or cheddar makes the topping gooey and melty.
- Breadcrumbs: For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. You can also season the breadcrumbs with additional herbs or spices if desired.
- Add-Ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to the cheese mixture, such as finely chopped cooked bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, or sautéed onions for extra flavor.
Enjoy your sajtos sült gomba!
