Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 large mushroom caps preferably large and firm
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs preferably toasted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or Gruyère for a different flavor
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs parsley, thyme, or chives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing stems and garlic
  • 1 cup chopped mushroom stems finely chopped
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Gently clean the mushroom caps with a damp cloth, then carefully remove the stems and chop them finely.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the chopped stems and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly tender, filling your kitchen with a savory aroma.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted breadcrumbs, grated cheese, chopped herbs, and the sautéed mushroom stems and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until well integrated.
  5. Using a spoon, gently stuff each mushroom cap with the prepared mixture, pressing down lightly to fill the cavity completely.
  6. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, placing them stem-side down if needed.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the tops are golden and bubbling, and the mushrooms are tender when pierced with a knife.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes; the filling will set slightly, making them easier to serve.
  9. Garnish with extra herbs if desired, then serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of earthy mushrooms, cheesy filling, and aromatic herbs.
