Mushrooms stuffed with Brie & Garlic
Easy Christmas or Thanksgiving starters!
So it’s Christmas Day and it’s a tricky thing isn’t it – the Starter? I have the answer, my Mushrooms Stuffed with Brie & Garlic are perfect
So here is the recipe for my famous stuffed Mushrooms.
On the one hand you want to kick off your Christmas feast with a bang, but on the other, you don’t want to over-do it before the roast has even been taken out of the oven.
A small tasty little starter that’s great and so easy is the answer!
Christmas Twist Mushrooms or Easter to Thanksgiving or anytime 🙂
But with a twist – a Christmas Twist and that’s a smidge of Cranberry Sauce!
Can you see here how I’ve popped the cranberry under the cheese.
It’s so lovely, so festive….
To Serve your stuffed mushrooms
What’s great about these is that you basically bake them all in one tray for 20 minutes.
Then whip out the oven, pop 5 on each plate with a few leaves and woo hoo!!
Perfect easy starters for the whole family! Simple
You can mix it up a bit if you like.
I have made them before with any cheese – even soft cream cheese with herbs and garlic! Oh and they are really nice with Stilton too!
An idea to use up all that left over christmas cheeses! (Post xmas)
