This vegetarian Mediterranean stuffed mushrooms recipe puts a unique spin on an old classic. These are perfect to serve as an appetizer, side dish, or light main course. Mushrooms can be easy to prep once you get the hang of it. Gently remove the stems, and then scoop out the gills with a spoon. You want to make them hollow enough to fill with toppings, but not too hollow that the mushroom becomes too thin and breaks.
