Creamy Cheese & Potato Mushrooms

Creamy Cheese & Potato Mushrooms

Don't they look scrummy?

I've added as many pictures as I can for this recipe as I go along, they will help you with each step from start to finish...

 

These are just some of the ingredients that I've used 

Including these chopped mushrooms

First of all, add some Olive oil to a frying pan and turn on a low heat, then add a tablespoon of Pesto, salt & pepper and a tablespoon of freshly crushed Garlic. Stir well and when it bubbles like this below, remove it from the heat.

Prepare the mushrooms by peeling them and taking out the stalks, these can be discarded now! Place the mushrooms into a baking dish and sprinkle with Olive oil. 

  

I use the larger mushrooms because the filling you make will sit nicely on top of them

I slice around the top of the Peppers and ease the stalks out, slice the pepper in half and dice one half. This next mixture makes 6 deliciously filled mushrooms

Use two to three different coloured Peppers

Then cut and dice two chunky slices of red onion and add to the diced peppers.

Add butter to a frying pan and melt, tip all the ingredients into the pan and then stir in a cup of pouring cream. Bring to the boil and the remove from the heat and stand aside.

Doesn't look like much, but taste wonderful, this is when you can add more seasonings to your liking. Sprinkle on your favourite grated cheese and stir well until its creamy and smooth. 

Next, you need to dice two average sized potatoes and fry until golden brown and add Salt & Pepper. Once soft, you then need to add some chopped mushrooms and leave to cook on a low heat. Turn every now and then before adding more cream.  

Once cooked, spoon some of the filling into each Mushroom and bake until golden brown, there will be quite a bit of juice from these, but don't worry as you will drain them on some kitchen paper nearer the end. This is how they should look!

Remove from the oven and place on some kitchen paper to drain and then sprinkle on some grated cheese and place back into the oven for 5mins, once the cheese has melted, remove and add some chopped chives. They're now ready to freeze or serve...

I served mine with some homemade Focaccia Bread, which you can also find here on my blog!

These are such simple dishes but so very tasty and you can eat them as a main meal or a snack. You can eat both the Mushrooms and the Focaccia bread on their own or together as I serve it here...
