Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large button or cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium apple, finely diced (e.g., Granny Smith)
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean and prepare the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and removing the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced apple, chopped mushroom stems, and diced onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic, parsley, and thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Brush the inside of the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, gill side up.
Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the apple and herb filling, pressing the mixture gently to help it hold its shape.
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden on top.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy!
