Stuffed Mushrooms With Roasted Red Peppers And Manchego Cheese

1. 1

   Wipe the mushroom caps clean. Remove stems completely.

2. 2

   Rinse the roasted red pepper. Pat dry. Slice into thin strips.

3. 3

   Put oven rack in lower one-third of oven and preheat to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss mushroom caps with oil, salt and pepper. Lay gill side down on sheet. Roast until they release juices and shrink, about 25 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove them from oven. Let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, flip, fill with cheese and place a few strips of red pepper on top. (At this point, they can be covered and chilled for up to 2 days. You may need to cook them a couple extra minutes tho.).

5. 5

   Bake until mushrooms are hot and cheese is melted and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove to serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
