Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 3–4 minutes).
Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a bowl. Add the Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until combined.
Grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil. Arrange the mushroom caps in the dish, stem-side up.
Stuff each mushroom cap with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to fill them completely.
Top each stuffed mushroom with a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
