Ingredients

• 16 medium caps Cremini or white button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cups Walnuts, finely chopped
• 0.33 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.75 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and reserve them for later use.

Step 3

Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sautéed garlic and mushroom stems with chopped walnuts, panko breadcrumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive stuffing mixture.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the stuffing mixture, pressing lightly to pack it in.

Step 6

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown on top.

Step 8

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and enjoy warm.
