How long do you bake stuffed mushroom caps for?
I baked these mushroom caps for 22 minutes, but it really depends on the size of mushroom caps you use. Smaller mushroom caps can take a lot less time to bake than larger mushroom caps.
Can you make these dairy-free?
You can definitely make this stuffed mushrooms recipe dairy-free. Substitute a dairy-free cream cheese by Daiya or Kite Hill, and also substitute the cheddar cheese for Daiya's cheddar substitute.
Do you wash mushroom caps before using them?
This can be tricky! You definitely want to wash your mushrooms, but you need to do it carefully. Mushroom caps expand with water so don't wash them until you are ready to use them. Wash quickly, then dry them off with a paper towel to remove moisture.
Can you freeze this appetizer?
You can freeze this stuffed mushrooms recipe, but you will want to freeze them before you bake them. Thaw and bake.
