Part 5/8:
- Additional seasoning with salt and pepper to taste
Adjust moisture with a splash of stock if the mixture feels dry, ensuring it binds well but isn't soggy.
Step 4: Stuffing the Mushrooms
Using a small spoon, press the stuffing into each mushroom cap, mounding slightly on top. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish, making sure they fit snugly. Pour a bit of the remaining liquid (broth or wine) into the dish to keep the mushrooms moist during baking.
Step 5: Baking and Broiling
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bake the mushrooms for 20-25 minutes until tender. To add a crispy topping, move the dish closer to the broiler and toast until golden brown, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
