Directions:
01 - Blend the Pine Nuts, without reducing them to sand.
02 - In a bowl, whisk the Ricotta until smooth and lump free.
03 - Add Parmigiano Cheese, Salt, White and Black Pepper and mix well.
04 - Now, combine Pine Nuts and Ricotta mixture.
05 - Clean the Mushrooms: use a damp paper towel or a soft mushroom brush to wipe each Mushroom, one at a time, to remove any dirt. You can lightly rinse the Mushrooms with cool water and pat dry with paper towels, but do not soak the Mushrooms, because they absorb water like little sponges. Mushrooms won't brown nicely when cooked if they are full of water.
06 - Chop the stem off the head.
07 - Using a teaspoon or a piping bag, put a little bit of Cream in between two Mushroom Heads. Serve.
Notes:
- Make sure to serve them as soon as you have finished making them. Do not store them in the fridge or leave them outside, Mushrooms will turn black... fast.
- You can make the cream in the morning and store it in the fridge for the evening, and use it as soon as you are ready to serve the Bites.
