Baking: It is easier to maintain the right temperature and avoid uneven cooking. But you lose a chance to have smoky taste.
Grilling: Gives dishes a distinctive flavor but needs careful attention not to burn food items.
Oven Process
Preheating the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for optimal mushroom tenderness while retaining moisture within it.
Optimal Temperature and Timing
The mushrooms should be baked for about twenty minutes at 375F; however, after the first 20 minutes, they may be overcooked so that they must be checked out after each minute.
Grilling Process
Setting Up the Grill
Clean grates thoroughly so as not to let mushrooms stick on it. Preheat grill on medium heat.
Tips for Preventing Mushrooms from Sticking
Before placing caps on grill lightly brush them with olive oil which will add flavor and prevent sticking.
Baking Instructions
Place stuffed mushrooms onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender mushrooms appear with bubbly filling.
Remove from oven; cool slightly before serving.
Checking for Doneness
Mushrooms should be tender but not mushy while cheese must be melted and slightly golden browned.
Grilling Instructions
Place the stuffed mushrooms directly on the preheated grill.
Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to avoid burning.
Remove from the grill once the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.
Indications of Perfect Grilling
Search for barbecue marks on the mushrooms and a bubbly, gold filling.
