Ingredients
  

  • 12 large button or cremini mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prep the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and gently remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
  2. Make the Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and garlic, cooking until softened. Transfer to a bowl and mix in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, thyme, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
  3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the prepared stuffing, pressing slightly to secure.
  4. Bake: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Serve: Let the mushrooms cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley for presentation.

Notes

  • Avoid overbaking to prevent the mushrooms from becoming soggy.
  • For a golden topping, broil the mushrooms for the last 2 minutes.
