Stuffed Mushrooms recipe – 175 calories

9 Mar, 2010 Appetizer recipes 25 Comments

This is an easy and delicious recipe. The Pecorino Romano is the perfect cheese to use, as it pairs really well with the bread crumbs. You need not worry about bland stuffed mushrooms anymore, as these are very flavorful! If you live in a dry area you might want to add a little more olive oil or chop the mushroom stems and put them in the bread crumb mixture (this will add moisture).

1/2 cup Italian-style dried bread crumbs

Here’s a different kind of bruschetta. The bread is toasted without oil and garlic, so that the sweet flavors of the juicy peaches and roasted peppers can be fully appreciated. This sweetness is nicely balanced by the red wine vinegar and basil. You could also try this bruschetta mixture on grilled chicken or fish. Delicious!
