Stuffed Mushrooms Baked

Ingredients

• 12 to 15 medium mushrooms
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• ¼ cup bread crumbs
• ½ cup grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• ½ tsp. pepper powder
• ½ tsp. salt or to taste
• 1 tbsp. oil

Rinse the mushroom under running water.  No need to wipe as we will peel them. Remove the stems and set aside.  Peel the mushrooms and place in an oven proof baking dish.  Chop the mushroom stems finely.  Add the grated cheese to a mixing bowl.  Heat oil in a pan and saute the mushrooms stems and chopped onion for 2 to 3 minutes till it softens.  Cool the mixture and add to the cheese.  Add the bread crumbs, pepper powder and salt and mix.  Stuff the mushrooms with this mixture and bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven till tops are golden.  Serve immediately as a starter or appetizer.
