Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the avocado mash a few hours in advance, so when it’s time to bake, all you have to do is stuff the mushrooms!
- Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have avocados, you can try using a creamy bean spread like hummus as an alternative.
- Storage Suggestions: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to warm through.
- Slicing Tricks: When slicing the Portobello mushrooms, make sure not to cut too deeply; you want to keep the caps intact to hold the delicious fillings!
