Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 12 medium-sized fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), stems removed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

Cheese and Binders

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by cleaning your mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside to chop finely for the stuffing. This preparation ensures the mushrooms act as perfect little cups to hold the flavorful filling.
  2. Make the Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine minced mushroom stems, fresh garlic, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Drizzle some olive oil and mix everything thoroughly to create a moist yet firm stuffing mixture.
  3. Fill the Mushrooms: Using a small spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the prepared stuffing. Press it in lightly to make sure it will stay put during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender, and the tops are golden and crispy.
  5. Final Touches: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Finish by sprinkling some extra Parmesan and fresh parsley on top for that beautiful presentation and burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm mushrooms: Freshness ensures the caps hold their shape and texture during baking.
  • Dry mushrooms well: Too much moisture can make the stuffing soggy, so pat dry thoroughly.
  • Don’t overfill: Leave a little room at the top to prevent overflow and achieve a crisp edge.
  • Let them rest before serving: A few minutes out of the oven lets the filling set, making them easier to handle.
  • Use fresh Parmesan: Pre-grated cheese often lacks flavor and melt quality compared to freshly grated.
