Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Use gluten-free if necessary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Optional, for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs e.g., basil, oregano, or thyme
For the Mushrooms
  • 12 large cremini or button mushrooms

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems, chopping them finely.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking until softened.
  3. In a bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Generously fill each mushroom cap with the filling mixture. If using, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
  5. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Allow the mushrooms to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, replace regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free ones. Be careful not to overstuff the mushrooms; they need to bake evenly. Experiment with herbs and spices for different flavors.
