how long to bake stuffed mushrooms

The baking time for stuffed mushrooms can vary depending on the size of the mushrooms, the filling, and the temperature of your oven. Here are some general guidelines:

Temperature: 375°F (190°C)

Baking Time:

• Small mushrooms (1-2 inches in diameter): 12-15 minutes
• Medium mushrooms (2-3 inches in diameter): 15-20 minutes
• Large mushrooms (3-4 inches in diameter): 20-25 minutes
• Extra-large mushrooms (4-5 inches in diameter): 25-30 minutes

Check for doneness:

• The mushrooms should be tender and the filling should be heated through.
• The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
• The mushrooms should be lightly browned on top.

Tips:

• Pre-bake the mushroom caps for 5-7 minutes to remove excess moisture before filling and baking.
• Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the filling reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Keep an eye on the mushrooms during the baking time, as the cooking time may vary depending on your oven.

Remember, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and check the mushrooms frequently to avoid overcooking. Enjoy your delicious stuffed mushrooms!
