Mushrooms release water when they’re cooked. It’s important to pre-cook them well before stuffing them. If your mushrooms are still firm to the touch after 20 minutes in the oven, they may need to roast a little bit longer before you fill them. Once you flip them, you can also remove any water from the center with a paper towel before you fill them.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What else can I stuff them with?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
