Baked Mushrooms With Cheese


Ingredients:

8 large brown mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/3 mozzarella cheese, grated


Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

Place a baking dish into the oven to preheat as well.

Cut the stems off the mushrooms.

Give the mushrooms a little scrub with a mushroom brush.

With an oven mitt, remove the warm/hot pan and place it onto an pot holder or heat resistant pad.

* Just a little tip: it can be dangerous to place a hot pan on cold surface, as sometimes they can shatter.

Put the mushrooms on the pan cup side up.

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until just tender.

Remove and sprinkle with cheeses.

Return dish to the oven and bake 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted.

Garnish with fresh herbs.
