Ingredients:
20 medium-sized mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, let's start preparing the mushrooms. Remove the stems from the mushrooms, and gently scrape out any remaining bits to create a hollow space for the filling. Be careful not to break the mushroom caps.
Chop the mushroom stems finely and set them aside. These will be used in the filling to enhance the mushroom flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and chopped mushroom stems. Sauté until they become tender and fragrant, for about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Add the sautéed mixture into the breadcrumb mixture, followed by the melted butter. Stir everything until the ingredients blend together beautifully. Season it with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
Now it's time to stuff those mushrooms! Take a mushroom cap and generously fill it with the prepared mixture. Don't be afraid to press it in slightly to ensure all the flavors are packed inside.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they have a bit of space between each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling turns golden brown.
Once ready, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will prevent any accidental burns before indulging in these savory delights.
Serve the stuffed mushrooms while they are still warm and enjoy their delightful taste. These little treats are best paired with a tangy dipping sauce or enjoyed on their own.
Feel free to experiment with different fillings to suit your taste buds. You could add cooked bacon, diced bell peppers, or even chopped spinach to the mixture. The possibilities are endless!
Whether you're a vegetarian, a mushroom enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates good food, stuffed mushrooms are a perfect choice. They offer a harmonious blend of flavors, textures, and presentation that is sure to please everyone around your table. So, next time you're in the mood for a delicious appetizer, don't forget to include this easy and satisfying stuffed mushroom recipe in your culinary repertoire.
