Notes
Store any leftover stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, add them to a 375℉ oven for about 8-10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese gets melty again. You can also microwave them for 30-45 seconds, but the oven method keeps the texture much better.
