Mushroom Options: Cremini, button, or portobello. Larger mushrooms hold more filling. Adjust baking time accordingly.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
Reheating: Oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes or microwave briefly. Mushrooms may soften slightly but stay delicious.
