1 serving (medium) of Oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese (120 g) has 144 calories. That works out to 120 calories per 100 g. It contains 5 g of carbs, 10.2 g of protein, 8.6 g of fat and 2.5 g of fiber. Its 13.2 µg of Biotin covers 44% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese is a simple Turkish-style dish: whole or halved mushrooms are topped with kasar, a mild Turkish semi-hard cheese, then baked until the cheese melts and browns. The mushrooms release their juices as they cook, while the cheese forms a savoury, stretchy topping.
Serve it hot as a side, a casual starter, or part of a shared table; it also works as a light meat-free main with bread and salad. Its tender, juicy texture contrasts with the browned cheese, and the dish is low in carbohydrates while providing protein and calcium. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of cheese and add a fresh salad.

To make oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese, arrange cleaned, dried mushrooms in a baking dish and season them. Bake until tender, then add grated kasar cheese near the end and return the dish to the oven until the cheese melts and browns lightly.
Kasar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese with a mild, savoury flavour that melts well. On oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese, it forms the bubbling, browned topping; fresh kasar tends to melt more smoothly than aged kasar.
Yes, you can substitute mozzarella or another good-melting cheese in oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese, but the flavour will differ. Cheddar gives a sharper taste, while mozzarella is milder and stretchier; use enough to cover the mushrooms without burying them.
Oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese can turn watery if the mushrooms are wet, crowded in the dish, or salted too early. Dry them well and leave space between them so moisture can evaporate instead of pooling around the cheese.
No, you do not have to remove the stems for oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese. Trim any dry ends and bake the stems with the caps; remove them only if the mushrooms are too small to hold the cheese topping.
Whole mushrooms work well for oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese, especially when they are small and similar in size. Halve or quarter larger ones so they cook evenly and are easier to serve; smaller pieces may release moisture more quickly.
Yes, oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese can be made in an air fryer if the mushrooms fit in a single layer. Cook them until tender, add the cheese near the end, and continue until it melts; avoid overcrowding the basket.
Serve oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese with a crisp salad, crusty bread, or grilled vegetables. They also work as a side for roasted meat, but their melted cheese topping makes them substantial enough to serve as a light vegetarian main.
Reheat oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese in the oven until hot throughout, which helps the topping melt again without making it as rubbery as prolonged microwave heating can. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container before reheating.
Freezing oven-baked mushrooms with kasar cheese is not ideal. Mushrooms tend to release water and become soft after thawing, while the cheese topping can turn grainy. Refrigerate leftovers instead and reheat them soon for a better texture.
