Oven Baked Mushrooms & Mozzarella

Written by Published on Updated on June 3, 2019 in Appetizers

Hey there everyone!!  

Last year around the month of November my friend visited me for the first time in 7 years.  She brought me as a gift a cookbook, actually a Georgian Cookbook. 🙂  She is not Greek, so I guess you kind of got that part. 🙂  Anyway, I was going through the cookbook yesterday and noticed that most of the recipes call for Walnuts.  I find that so interesting, I love to add nuts in salads and food, but I never have come across a recipe that combined Aubergines with Walnuts.  I think this just might be one of the recipes I will be making in the near future.

Ok, so back to the Cookbook, I came across this delicious, yet sooooo easy recipe.   Mushrooms marinated in Olive Oil and topped with Mozzarella…:)  The name in the cookbook is “Mushrooms with Sulguni”.  I called Tammy yesterday to ask her what Sulguni is, and she said Mozzarella!!! I said well that must taste delicious!! Let’s give it a try and if it is good I will pass on the recipe.

I made them today, the photo may not look like much, but OOOOMMMGGoshhhh it was just amazing. I have never combined or come across this type of combination of ingredients, so for me a lover of Mushrooms and Mozzarella it was a match made in heaven. 🙂

Have a great week everyone!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
