Ingredients

• 12 medium caps Button or cremini mushrooms
• 75 grams Blue cheese
• 40 grams Walnuts
• 30 grams Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

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 mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems, crumbled blue cheese, finely chopped walnuts, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive stuffing mixture.

Step 5

Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil, both on the outside and inside, to keep them moist during baking.

Step 6

Spoon the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap, packing it gently but firmly to ensure it stays in place.

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow even cooking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the mushroom caps from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy!
