Holiday Stuffed Mushrooms

Holiday Stuffed Mushrooms are classically filled with a bit of grated carrot for a pretty and tasty recipe.  It can be a side dish or appetizer.  You decide.

Stuffed mushrooms make for a magical recipe. They can be a special side dish or an appetizer that people ohh and ahh over.  All you have to do is set them on a table and one by one the little gems will disappear.

What is so nice about these Holiday Stuffed Mushrooms is that they are stuffed with perfectly seasoned mushrooms and breadcrumbs and then have a wonderful addition of finely grated carrot.

All are sautéd together until it melds into the perfect stuffing.  Now, you don’t have to save these little bites for a holiday.  This is when a weekly menu plan would come in real handy.

Without a little planning mushrooms might be passed by in the produce section.  At least 16 ounces of them.  I tend to get stuck in a rut with green beans or peas when I don’t actually make out a shopping list.

There is a real good chance that you have all of the other ingredients for this recipe already in your pantry.  Maybe not the homemade vegan parmesan cheese but it is quick to whip up with a few cashews.

So make something new and special for your family and friends and either set these Holiday Stuffed Mushrooms on the dining table for all to eat or pass them around and watch them disappear during the festivities.
