Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 large firm white or cremini mushrooms
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean your mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel, avoiding rinsing to prevent sogginess. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside for later use.
  2. Make the Stuffing: Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems. In a skillet, sauté them with minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until soft and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl and mix in grated Parmesan, bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the prepared mixture generously into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to fill without overflowing.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet spaced apart to ensure even cooking. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust and are bubbling on top.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow the mushrooms to cool for a few minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

  • Choose larger mushrooms for easier stuffing and serving.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking tray to ensure even cooking.
  • For extra crunch, lightly toast bread crumbs before mixing them in.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and melting.
  • Sauté mushroom stems thoroughly to reduce moisture and avoid sogginess.
