Stuffed Mushroom Caps & Baked Jalapeno PoppersI am featuring these two appetizers together as you can use one container of Daiya Cream Cheese Style Spread to make both recipes and the smooth creaminess of the mushroom caps cools down the heat of the jalapenos STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS
Ingredients: · 12 mushrooms · 1 T. olive oil · 1 garlic clove, minced · 2/3 container Daiya Cream Cheese Style Spread · ¼ cup nutritional yeast · ¼ tsp. pepper · ¼ tsp. onion powder · ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper Method: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding the tough end of the stems. 2. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Sauté until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic. Set aside to cool. 3. When mixture has cooled, stir in remaining ingredients. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on the parchment covered baking sheet. 4. Bake for 25 minutes or until the mushrooms are piping hot.
