- ⅓ cup ricotta cheese See notes
- 3 tablespoon pesto
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 12 mushrooms
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- basil fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/390ºF.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper/parchment.
- Mix the ricotta and pesto together in a small bowl.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the grated parmesan and mix the remaining parmesan into the ricotta mixture,
- Stir well together, if the mixture looks dry (see notes) then add in the heavy cream.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and place them rounded side down, on your lined tray.
- Lightly season the inside of the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the ricotta mixture into the mushrooms, sprinkle over the reserved parmesan and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is just starting to turn golden.
- Add a sprig of basil to each mushroom and serve hot or at room temperature.
Notes
- Some ricotta is much drier. If your mixture is very dry add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the mixture to give you a spoonable consistency.
