Ingredients

• 16 pieces Button mushrooms (medium-sized)
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cooked mushroom stems and garlic mixture until well combined.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the ricotta mixture, slightly mounding it on top.

Step 6

Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle paprika on top for garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
