Champignon
Champignons are great for cooking in the oven. They can be stuffed with meat, vegetables, fish or seafood, baked on skewers, or made into a flavorful side dish with sour cream or cream sauce. The listed dishes are distinguished by their excellent taste and alluring aroma. But only if they are prepared correctly. Today I will tell you how long to bake champignons in the oven, and also give 2 simple recipes - mushrooms with sour cream under a cheese crust and a stuffed appetizer.
Features of cooking whole champignons in the oven
Fresh, pickled, or frozen mushrooms are suitable for whole preparation. Fresh is definitely preferable. Champignons prepared in this way retain their rich flavor.
Champignon dishes in the oven are easy to prepare, but there are some nuances:
- Mushrooms from the freezer should be thawed at room temperature. Otherwise, their structure will collapse.
- The legs are usually cut off - rapid darkening makes them unattractive.
- A piece of butter will protect the hat from wrinkles.
- It is advisable to place the champignons on the grill grate so that the juice drips from them and the mushrooms are not wet.
Useful advice regarding washing champignons: mushrooms should be washed quickly, immediately blotted with a paper towel and dried slightly on a towel. This will keep them from getting soft.
Roasting time and temperature for champignons
The average cooking time for champignons in the oven is 25 minutes. But this indicator may vary depending on some factors:
- Mushroom size. If small or sliced specimens manage to bake well within the specified time, then large ones will need to be kept in the oven for 7-10 minutes longer.
- Baking method. If you cook champignons on skewers or a baking sheet, they begin to bake immediately, and after 25 minutes they can be removed (and small ones a little earlier). But when the mushrooms are placed in a pot, additional time is needed - the walls of the container must warm up thoroughly. In this case it will take approximately 35-40 minutes. And in a heat-resistant tray with thick walls, the dish is cooked for about half an hour.
- Related Ingredients. Cooking champignons in liquid or semi-liquid sauce takes approximately 30-35 minutes. And when the dish includes products whose baking time is longer than that of mushrooms, for example, potatoes, you need to be guided by the readiness of the latter.
The optimal temperature for cooking in the oven is 180 degrees. With less, the mushrooms will bake longer, release a lot of juice and end up dry. And if you increase the heat, the skin will begin to burn, but the inside will remain raw.
