Looking for a quick and easy appetizer that’s packed with flavor? Look no further! These stuffed mushrooms are a game-changer, requiring only a sauté pan and a microwave steamer tray. Say goodbye to dry, oven-baked mushrooms and hello to a tender, garlicky delight.
The Perfect Combination of Flavors
To start, you’ll need a few simple ingredients, including large button mushrooms, garlic, butter, potato chips, cream cheese, sea salt, and pepper. The key to this recipe lies in the combination of flavors and textures. The mushroom stems and garlic are finely chopped and sautéed in butter, creating a rich, savory base. Then, crushed potato chips are added to the mix, providing a satisfying crunch.
Prep in a Flash
Begin by preparing your mushrooms. Remove the stems and sort them by size. Add the smallest caps to the stems if using a tray. Next, place the stems and garlic in a food processor and whiz until they’re finely chopped.
Sauté and Steam
Heat the mushroom mixture in a sauté pan with butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. While the mixture is heating up, place the mushroom caps in a microwave steamer tray and cook on 80% power for 5 minutes. Let them stand in the microwave without draining the water.
The Finishing Touches
Once the mushroom mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat and stir in cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Then, fill each mushroom cap with the mixture, mounding it up to about 1/2 inch above the cap. You’ll likely have some leftover filling.
Serve and Enjoy
Microwave the filled mushrooms for 1 minute on High and serve immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in a sealed container and reheated at High for 1 minute 30 seconds.
With this recipe, you’ll have a delicious, flavorful appetizer ready in no time. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these savory stuffed mushrooms are sure to impress!
