Main Ingredients
- 12 medium to large white or cremini mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Remove and reserve the stems, then hollow out the caps if needed to create space for the filling.
- Make the Filling: Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems and sauté them with minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat, then stir in bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the garlic and Parmesan filling carefully into each mushroom cap, packing gently to fill the cavity without spilling.
- Bake Until Golden: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the tops and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and the filling turns golden and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow the mushrooms to cool for a couple of minutes before serving to enjoy their full rich flavors safely.
Notes
- Choose firm mushrooms to prevent sogginess during baking.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Lightly toast bread crumbs before mixing for improved texture and flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for superior taste and melting quality.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to your preferred flavor intensity.
