Ingredients
  

  • 12 –16 large button or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs panko or Italian-seasoned
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter melted (optional for extra richness)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove stems. Hollow out caps slightly if needed, and finely chop stems.
  2. Sauté the Stems: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped mushroom stems with a pinch of salt for 2–3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
  3. Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, sautéed stems, minced garlic, parsley, basil, and melted butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Arrange mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Spoon the stuffing into each cap, gently pressing it down.
  5. Bake: Drizzle the stuffed mushrooms with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
