How To Cook Stuffed Mushrooms
- Position rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil.
- Use medium heat to melt butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Add pancetta to the pan and then cook for 1 to 2 minutes then mix in green onions, garlic, salt, and dried red chile flakes. Cook gently for 2 to 4 minutes just until green onions are tender. Remove from heat.
- While allowing the pancetta mix to cool, wash mushrooms and then gently snap mushroom stems to remove them from the mushroom caps.
- In medium bowl, combine goat cheese and pancetta mixture. Stuff mushrooms with cheese mixture.
