Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Goat Cheese

Ingredients

  • Olive oil, for baking sheet
  • 3 slices white sandwich bread
  • 1 small garlic clove, coarsely chopped
  • 1 log (5 ounces) soft goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • Coarse salt
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) white button mushrooms, stems removed

Add freshly ground coriander after the vegetables soften.

Salt and pepper to taste - cool on plate.

Prepare mushrooms by drizzling a bit of olive oil and baking them in a 400 degree oven for about 5 - 10 minutes until just barely cooked.

Mix most of the cooled fennel/leek mixture with fresh goat cheese - stuff mushroom caps.

Place stuffed mushroom caps under the broiler for about a minute until the cheese starts to melt.

Top the goat cheese stuffed mushrooms with remaining fennel/leek mixture and serve hot.
