Ingredients

• 12 pieces large button or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 medium apple, finely diced (e.g., Granny Smith)
• 0.5 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean and prepare the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and removing the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced apple, chopped mushroom stems, and diced onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, parsley, and thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

Brush the inside of the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, gill side up.

Step 8

Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the apple and herb filling, pressing the mixture gently to help it hold its shape.

Step 9

Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden on top.

Step 10

Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy!
