Reviews from our home cooks
Good texture overall, and the cheese inside was smooth and flavorful. However, it overpowered the mushroom taste, which I was hoping to notice more. It didn't come with any marinara sauce, maybe it was forgotten? A good dipping sauce could've really brought this dish together.
The texture left a bit to be desired. If I get them again I think I'll heat them up a bit in the air fryer and then pan fry them. They need a bit of crunch. The marinara was very basic but I added spices and a bit of cream and it was serviceable.
Easier than making from scratch & tastes about as good. Would get again.
Very good and fun to eat! Love the marinara sauce.
It's like a risotto ball in light breadcrumbs, excellent light dinner with a side salad.
A nice comfort food. I enjoyed it with a bowl of soup.
Very nice little snack for the little one and done in a jiffy in the air fryer
Delicious and fast to the table. Thank you. Travel well.
I had no idea what these were and they were amazing
Used my toaster oven to heat up (still looking for an air fryer).
