Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 500 g fresh champignon mushrooms
- 1 box of Ceva Fin Cremos with herbs (approximately 200 g)
- 100 g grated Sofia cheese
- 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
- Juice of one lemon

About the ingredients:
Champignon mushrooms are the ideal choice for this recipe due to their delicate texture and subtle flavor. The Ceva Fin Cremos with herbs adds a note of freshness and flavor, while the Sofia cheese enriches the dish with a delicious, golden, and crispy crust.

Step by step - Your guide to achieving perfect gratinated mushrooms:

1. Preparing the mushrooms:
- Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid washing them under water, as mushrooms absorb moisture and can become soggy.
- Cut the stems of the mushrooms (about 1 cm) to make room for the filling.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). It is important to have the oven ready before placing the dish inside, so the mushrooms bake evenly.

3. Preparing the filling:
- In a bowl, add the Ceva Fin Cremos with herbs and mix well with a fork to achieve a smooth composition.
- Add salt to taste and the lemon juice to enhance the flavors. The lemon juice will give the dish a note of freshness, balancing the rich taste of the cheese.

4. Filling the mushrooms:
- Use a small spoon or a piping bag to fill each mushroom with the cheese mixture. Make sure the filling slightly exceeds the edge of the mushroom, as it will melt and spread during baking.

5. Preparing for baking:
- Place the filled mushrooms on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil. This will prevent the mushrooms from sticking to the tray and make cleaning easier later.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of each mushroom to achieve a golden and appetizing crust.

6. Baking:
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the mushrooms bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and the mushrooms are tender.
- Once the mushrooms are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions:
These gratinated mushrooms are delicious served warm, alongside a fresh green salad or as an appetizer with a glass of white wine. You can also garnish them with a few fresh parsley leaves for a more attractive appearance.

Possible variations:
If you want to experiment, you can add herbs like dill or basil to the filling, or even some delicious diced ham for an extra flavor boost. You can also replace the cheese with goat cheese for a distinct flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
This gratinated mushroom recipe offers a good protein intake due to the cheese, as well as a range of essential vitamins from the mushrooms. They are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for those who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A serving of gratinated mushrooms can contain about 250 calories, depending on the amount of cheese used.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of mushrooms?
Yes, you can use portobello or shiitake mushrooms, but the baking time may vary depending on the size of the mushrooms.

2. Is it possible to prepare this recipe in advance?
Absolutely! You can fill the mushrooms and keep them in the refrigerator until baking time. Be sure to let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before placing them in the oven.
