Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems carefully and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems for use in the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until the stems have softened and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, sautéed mushroom stems and garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
If desired, stir in the breadcrumbs to add extra texture to the filling.
Using a teaspoon or small spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the ricotta mixture, pressing gently to pack the filling in.
Place the stuffed mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender, and the filling is lightly golden on top.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
