Bean Appetit
Upside Down Umbrellas
Each chef will need:
- 4 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 4 baby carrots
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Pinch of dried basil leaves
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Wear a hood the whole time you’re making this recipe, to protect yourself from pretend rain!
In a mixing bowl combine parmesan, cream cheese, garlic powder, and basil leaves. Gently press mixture into the bottom of the mushrooms.
Place mushrooms on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Gently press a carrot into the bottom of each mushroom for the handle of the umbrella.
Sing "Rain Rain Go Away" before enjoying your upside down umbrella.
