Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Gently clean the Portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. If desired, use a spoon to carefully scrape out the gills from the underside of the mushrooms.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the tops and undersides of each mushroom cap.

Step 6

Place the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 7

While the mushrooms bake, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs in a small bowl.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, remove the mushrooms from the oven. Evenly divide the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture over the gill side of each mushroom cap.

Step 9

Return the mushrooms to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside your favorite main dish.
