  • Remove the mushroom stems and finely chop them. These will be used in the stuffing.
  • Use a sharp knife to make a small incision in the top of each mushroom. This will help the stuffing to stay in place.
  • Be generous with the pesto and cheese stuffing. The more filling you use, the more flavorful the mushrooms will be.
  • Bake the mushrooms at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes. This will help to caramelize the mushrooms and give them a crispy exterior.
  • Serve the mushrooms hot as an appetizer or main course.
