I love to make anything that is quick, easy and packed full of flavor. It is also something that can be made in bulk and can be taken to work with me easily the next day. One of my family’s most favorite dishes is anything with Caprese. In case you did not know, Caprese is pretty much fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Sometimes, people will add balsamic vinegar or olive oil to their Caprese.
There are so many things that can be made with a simple Caprese recipe. One of our favorites is a Caprese Chicken. In this post, I am going to be sharing with you a new recipe, Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms. This recipe combines two of my favorite things; Caprese and mushrooms.
What I love most about recipes like this is that it can be made in a snap. Since I am a single mom, anything that can be made quickly is a plus in my book. If one child does not like the basil, I can either omit it in their portion, if another wants gouda instead of mozzarella, I can make that happen too! My Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms are so easy to make and can be made ahead of time for parties, lunch, freezer sides and more!
I hope your family enjoyed my Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms. If you made them, share them with me on Facebook or Twitter!
