Ingredients

• 16 pieces button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems carefully and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems for use in the filling.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until the stems have softened and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, sautéed mushroom stems and garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

If desired, stir in the breadcrumbs to add extra texture to the filling.

Step 6

Using a teaspoon or small spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the ricotta mixture, pressing gently to pack the filling in.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
