Well, these garlic ricotta stuffed mushrooms sure didn’t last long. We are both big fans of mushrooms, stuffed or not. You can make them in the oven or on the grill. They make for a great, easy side to whatever we might be cooking on the grill (or indoors). Sometimes we marinate them. Sometimes we stuff them. Either way, they’re fantastic.
Creamy Deliciousness
These garlic ricotta stuffed mushrooms have a wonderfully creamy filling. They’re great as sides or appetizers. Or both. Substitute Creole seasoning for the salt and pepper and shredded pepperjack cheese for the Mozzarella for a twist with a kick!
I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
