Method
Wash the mushrooms, pat dry, and carefully remove the stems. Chop the stems and onion5 into 0.5 cm cubes, mince the garlic4, and finely chop the dill8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion5 for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
Add the chopped stems, cooking for 3–4 minutes until tender; stir in the garlic4 and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then mix with farmer’s cheese, half the grated cheese, and dill8. Season with salt.
Stuff the caps with the filling, place them on a baking sheet (stem-side down), and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted. Let rest 5 minutes before serving with bread.
Tips
- Why it works
- Sauté the onion and garlic first to soften them before adding stems. This prevents the filling from becoming watery when baked.
- Substitutions
- Use feta (30g) instead of cottage cheese for a sharper taste; swap hard cheese for parmesan (20g) if you prefer stronger flavor.
- Common mistakes
- Overstuffing mushrooms causes filling to spill out; check if caps are bulging before baking.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat within 2 days; reheat in a skillet for 3 minutes until warm, or microwave for 1 minute covered.
- Serve with
- Pair with a simple green salad and a glass of white wine for a light but satisfying dinner.
