Notes
- Look for white mushrooms or cremini mushrooms with caps large enough for stuffing. They should be firm, fresh, and free of bruises.
- For ultra-creamy filling, make sure to soak the cashews for at least 2 hours. If you're short on time, pour boiling water over them and soak for 20 minutes. A high-speed blender will ensure a smooth filling as well.
- Don’t rinse mushrooms under running water. Use a damp paper towel to wipe them clean instead.
- Add chopped fresh spinach, a sprinkle of garlic powder, or diced green onions or fresh parsley for extra flavor. Add red pepper flakes for some heat. Swap out the prosciutto for spicy sausage or bacon (make sure to precook these before adding to the filling ingredients)
- If you aren’t dairy-free, swap the cashew cream for cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or feta cheese on top.
