45 minutes

Mushroom cap appetizers are an exquisite and delicate European delicacy that combines the creamy texture of sour cream, the light sweetness of crab sticks, and the rich flavor of mushrooms. This recipe originates from French culinary traditions where mushrooms are often used in baked appetizers. Tender mushroom caps are filled with a fragrant mixture of sautéed stems, shallots, and seafood, then baked under a golden crust of Gouda cheese. The dish delights with its soft texture and rich flavor. It is perfect for a festive table or a cozy dinner atmosphere. Serving the appetizer hot allows one to experience the intense aroma of mushrooms and the tenderness of the creamy filling, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. It is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of elegant and refined dishes.
