Ingredients
Scale:
16 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Extra parsley for garnish
Additional grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Chop the stems finely.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped mushroom stems and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Generously stuff each mushroom cap with the filling and place them upright on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for an extra crispy top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
