Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large white mushrooms
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Monterey Jack cheese, finely chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Brush the mushroom caps lightly with melted butter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Fill each mushroom cap generously with the stuffing mixture, pressing it in slightly.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
