Stuffed Mushrooms
- 12 large mushrooms
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the mushrooms.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Remove the stems from the mushrooms carefully and chop the stems finely. This will be used to add texture and flavor to the stuffing.
- Make Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the prepared stuffing mixture, pressing slightly so the filling stays in place. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy these flavorful stuffed mushrooms as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or a vegetarian cheese if preferred.
- Adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the stuffing can enhance the flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts.
- Serve immediately after baking for optimal taste and temperature.
