Ingredients

• 16 pieces Cremini mushrooms
• 1/3 cup Prepared basil pesto
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the cremini mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a small spoon to carefully hollow out the caps slightly, creating space for the filling.

Step 3

Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems you removed.

Step 4

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chopped mushroom stems, prepared pesto, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Using a spoon, generously stuff each mushroom cap with the pesto mixture, slightly mounding it on top.

Step 6

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 7

Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Pesto Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms as a delightful appetizer or snack!
