Its 0.3 mg of B2 covers 22% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Mushrooms with Kaşar Cheese is a simple Turkish-style dish of sliced mushrooms topped with grated kaşar and cooked until the cheese melts and browns. It is an easy home-cooked option, served hot as a side, a starter or a light meal; in Turkey, it may also appear among small meze dishes.
The mushrooms turn tender and savoury, while the cheese adds a salty, creamy stretch and a browned, nutty edge. Pair it with crusty bread or a fresh salad. It provides some protein and fibre and is relatively low in carbohydrates; for a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and let the mushrooms take centre stage.

Bake cleaned mushrooms until tender, then top them with grated Kaşar cheese and return them to the oven until melted and lightly browned. Adding the cheese near the end helps keep it from drying out.
Button mushrooms are the easiest choice for mushrooms with Kaşar cheese because they cook evenly and hold their shape. Brown cremini mushrooms also work well; use whole small mushrooms or slice larger ones.
Yes, mushrooms with Kaşar cheese can be made in a skillet. Cook the mushrooms in a wide pan until their released liquid evaporates, add the cheese, then cover the pan briefly so it melts.
Mushrooms with Kaşar cheese can turn watery when the mushrooms are crowded in the pan or the cheese is added before their moisture cooks off. Use a wide pan, cook in batches if needed, and add cheese last.
Yes, mozzarella will melt over the mushrooms, but it gives the dish a milder, stretchier finish. Kaşar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese with a more savory flavor, so mozzarella makes a noticeable variation.
Mushrooms with Kaşar cheese are a familiar Turkish home-style preparation, rather than a dish with one fixed traditional recipe. They are commonly cooked in a pan or oven and served hot while the cheese is melted.
Add the Kaşar only after the mushrooms are nearly cooked, then use moderate heat and watch the surface closely. If the mushrooms are baking, move the dish away from the strongest top heat once the cheese has melted.
A crisp salad and bread pair well with mushrooms with Kaşar cheese, balancing the rich melted topping. For a larger meal, serve them alongside grilled chicken or meat, or offer them as a warm side dish.
Yes, mushrooms with Kaşar cheese can be reheated the next day. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container, then warm them until hot throughout; reheating in a covered skillet helps prevent the mushrooms from drying out.
Yes, you can cook mushrooms with Kaşar cheese in an air fryer using a heat-safe dish that fits inside. Cook the mushrooms until tender first, add the Kaşar near the end, and continue until it melts.
