These tasty stuffed mushrooms make an excellent appetizer for any size gathering or event. Butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the mushroom caps in a single layer. Carefully clean the mushrooms with a wet paper towel and remove the stems, leaving the caps whole. Sauté the mushroom caps in 3 tablespoons of melted butter until tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Sauté the chopped stems, green pepper, and chopped onion in the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter until the onions are translucent. Add the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to the onion and pepper mixture. Stir to blend the ingredients thoroughly and remove from heat. Fill each mushroom cap with the breadcrumb mixture and then sprinkle each with a small amount of Parmesan cheese. Arrange the stuffed mushroom caps in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the filling has browned and the cheese is melted and crunchy. Why are my stuffed mushrooms soggy?
