Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment – luxury is coming!
- Gently remove stems from mushrooms (chop and freeze for risotto later) and scoop a little extra cavity with a spoon.
- Place caps hollow-side up, brush lightly with 1 tbsp melted butter, and bake 8–10 minutes to release moisture.
- While they bake, melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet and toast panko until deep golden; set aside.
- In the same pan, crisp up the pancetta bits until perfect little jewels, then drain on paper towel.
- Mix softened cream cheese, ⅓ cup Parmesan, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and most of the pancetta until silky.
- Stir ¼ cup of the toasted panko into the filling for extra texture (the rest is for topping).
- Remove mushrooms from oven, blot any liquid, then generously fill each cap with the truffle-worthy mixture.
- Top with remaining toasted panko + Parmesan and bake 12–14 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Rest 5 minutes, then lightly drizzle each mushroom with truffle oil right before serving – the aroma will make everyone swoon!
Notes
Gluten-free if using GF panko. Naturally low-carb (≈3g net each). The truffle oil is added post-bake, so even a tiny bottle lasts dozens of batches.
