Notes

Nutrition information is auto-calculated. Please use discretion if you follow a specific diet.
If desired, broil mushrooms for 1-2 minutes at the end of the baking cycle until cheese is browned and topping is crisp.
This stuffing works well with multiple types of mushrooms; use white button mushrooms, Baby Bella mushrooms, cremini mushrooms and even Portobello mushrooms.
