CHEDDAR PECAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS
In my husband's family, we have a tradition of making a variety of appetizers as our meal for Christmas Eve. My sister-in-law brought these one year and they have been one of our favorites ever since. I don't generally use the large stuffing mushrooms, though you can if you're serving this as a first or second course in a formal dinner. Instead I use regular button mushrooms so 15 or so people can have two or three each.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Trim ends of mushroom stems and carefully separate caps and stems, reserving both. Arrange caps, stemmed sides up, in a buttered 13- by 9-inch shallow baking dish.
- Finely chop stems, then cook with garlic and oregano in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in pecans, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup cream and bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- Sprinkle insides of caps with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, then divide filling among caps. Drizzle mushrooms with remaining 2/3 cup cream and bake until filling is browned and caps are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve mushrooms drizzled with pan juices.
Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. For this recipe, you'll want to use large, firm mushrooms with intact stems. Cremini or Portobello mushrooms are both good options.
- Prepare the mushrooms properly. Before you stuff the mushrooms, you'll need to clean them and remove the stems. To clean the mushrooms, simply wipe them down with a damp paper towel. To remove the stems, use a sharp knife to cut around the base of the stem.
- Make sure the stuffing is well-seasoned. The stuffing is what gives these mushrooms their flavor, so make sure it's well-seasoned. You can use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the stuffing, such as garlic, thyme, paprika, and onion powder.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. Mushrooms are delicate, so they don't need to be cooked for long. Once the stuffing is cooked through, the mushrooms are done.
Conclusion:
Pecan-stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover pecans. So next time you're looking for a tasty and impressive appetizer, give pecan-stuffed mushrooms a try.
