Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large button mushrooms
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Grate the zucchini and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess moisture.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and parsley. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, grated zucchini, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil and arrange them cavity-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Carefully spoon the zucchini mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly. Top each stuffed mushroom with a pinch of the remaining shredded mozzarella.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
