Ingredients

• 16 pieces large button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 3–4 minutes).

Step 4

Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a bowl. Add the Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until combined.

Step 5

Grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil. Arrange the mushroom caps in the dish, stem-side up.

Step 6

Stuff each mushroom cap with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to fill them completely.

Step 7

Top each stuffed mushroom with a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
