Low fat Stuffed Mushrooms recipe


This recipe is easy and delicious. The Romano pecorino cheese is perfect to use, as it pairs well with breadcrumbs. There is no need to worry about bland stuffed mushrooms anymore, because these are very flavorful! If you live in a dry area you may want to add a little olive oil or more chop the mushroom stems and put them in the breadcrumbs mixture (this will add moisture).
