Cheese-stuffed roasted mushrooms: Cheese is great on anything

Have you been looking for great braai sides or starters that keep your friends fed while the other courses are being made? Mushrooms are always welcome on a snack plate and our cheese-stuffed roasted mushrooms are fully-loaded with deliciousness. Our recipe is for the oven but you can easily make them on the braai when your friends are over for dinner.

Tips for your Cheese-stuffed roasted mushrooms

One great thing about mushrooms other than the great nutritional value is that they cook relatively quickly and they are hard to overcook. The recipe only used cheddar or mozzarella cheese but you can use any combinations you choose to. Garlic goes very well with mushrooms and is a subtle but delicious addition. When serving, serve with dips and make sure that they have cooled a bit because melted cheese is somehow hotter than you think.

A great snack to get a dinner party started, cheese-stuffed roasted mushrooms will be on every menu at every dinner party from this day forward in your home.
