3 cheese stuffed mushrooms


These were well received by 3 veggie friends ( Leah, Bobby & Kiki) this past weekend.
I'm sure the mixture would stretch to 4 mushrooms, I was a bit generous!
3 Large flat mushrooms, skinned or wiped
2 small leeks, washed & sliced thinly
1 x15mlsp (1 Tbsp) olive oil and 25g (1oz) butter, for frying
2 slices bread, made into breadcrumbs
50g (2oz) Halloumi cheese - grated
25g (1oz) Parmesan cheese - grated
3 x 15mlsp (3Tbsp) chopped dill (keep a few pinches to decorate)
50g (2oz) full fat soft cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Remove the mushroom stalks carefully, chop finely - combine with leeks and fry in the oil and butter to soften.
In a bowl - combine the breadcrumbs, the 2 grated cheeses and the dill. Stir in the soft cheese and the softened leeks and mushrooms and continue to stir until well combined. Season if required.
Ensure mixture is formed together, and distribute evenly into piles over the 3 mushrooms.
Place on a baking tray and place in a pre heated oven 180 C; 350 F, Gas 5. Cook for 15 minutes until topping is browned. Sprinkle with the retained dill.
Serve with roasted vegetables, and crusty bread or potato wedges
Enjoy!

  1. Being the Kiki referred to in this post, I can heartily say that this recipe is an absolute delight! The addition of dill makes all the difference so do seek it out.
