Ingredients

• 12 large button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside. Hollow out the caps slightly with a small paring knife, if needed, to create more space for the filling.

Step 3

Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems and garlic with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Stir in the melted butter to moisten the mixture. If it feels too dry, add a drizzle of olive oil until the mixture is cohesive enough to hold together when pressed.

Step 7

Stuff each mushroom cap with a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to pack it in. Arrange the filled mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed mushrooms to help them brown during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
