A reliable recipe for baked mushroom caps filled with a flavorful, savory stuffing, perfect as a party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white button mushrooms, stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and chopped mushroom stems. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the cooled mushroom stem mixture, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Spoon the savory mushroom filling evenly into the hollowed-out mushroom caps, pressing gently to pack the filling.
  7. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the melted butter.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling up to one day ahead. Store the filled, unbaked mushrooms covered in the refrigerator. Add 5 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the fridge.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs with finely crumbled cooked sausage or canned crab meat.
  • If you want a crispier top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
