Recipe FAQs

Quickly rinse and dry or use a damp paper towel to wipe them. Avoid soaking since mushrooms absorb water easily.

Definitely! Stuff them up to a day early, cover, and chill. Bake them just before serving.

Swap breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option, but use a little extra since they're lighter than regular ones.
