Ingredients
  

  • 16 pieces Cremini mushrooms stems removed for filling
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese grated
  • 1/3 cup Breadcrumbs toasted panko preferred
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil for sautéing and drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice brightens the filling
  • Salt to taste seasoning
  • Black pepper to taste seasoning

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Skillet
  • Spoon
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside for the filling.
  3. Finely chop the mushroom stems. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the stems for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned. Let them cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed stems with grated cheese, toasted breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined and the mixture is chunky.
  5. Using a small spoon, generously stuff each mushroom cap with the filling, pressing lightly to pack it in. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil over the stuffed mushrooms and bake for 15-20 minutes until tops are golden brown and bubbling.
  7. Remove from the oven, let rest for 3-5 minutes, then serve warm with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon for added brightness.
