If you like mushrooms, especially stuffed, like me and my family , then you have to try these No Fry Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms. Oh my goodness, these are just out of the world! These stuffed mushrooms are low in cholesterol and sodium and high in iron :)
This is a No Fry Pesto Stuffed Mushroom recipe and if you are assuming that i am going to bake this babes, then you are wrong. I am using my favorite Appe Pan / Paniyaram pan / Aebleskiver pan... this pan has so many names .I just love making no fry items in this pan for a healthier alternative than deep frying which the traditional way of making them. I started my journey as a food blogger due to the Appe Pan's healthier no fry option. Its an amazing thing and I wanted my friends and colleagues to know about the options to deep frying and enjoying their favorite recipes guilt free.
These No Fry pesto Stuffed Mushrooms are so easy and quick to prepare. I wonder WHY I don't make them more often. These are great as an appetizer for dinners or served at a cocktail party. Enjoy them for any of your upcoming get-togethers and watch the disappear FAST!!
