Stuffed Mushrooms

• servings: 24 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

16 oz white mushrooms, (about 24)

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon, (divided)

¼ onion, (chopped)

3 cloves garlic, (minced)

½ cup panko

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon lemon zest

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Dash of crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms. Finely chop the stems and set the caps aside.

In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and chopped mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the cooked mushroom mixture.

Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps and place the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, cavity side up. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the mushrooms.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

I love these vegetarian stuffed mushrooms, but you can change up the stuffing, topping, or flavor profile! Stuffed mushrooms are easy to customize.

Cheese: Swap the Parmesan cheese for pecorino romano or gruyere. You can also add cream cheese, ricotta cheese, goat cheese, or mozzarella cheese.

Meat & Seafood: Add mild or spicy sausage, bacon, prosciutto, crab, or shrimp.

Vegetables: Add artichokes, peppers, zucchini, or spinach!

Herbs: I love parsley and thyme, but basil and rosemary are also good options.

Nuts: Chopped walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, or almonds can add a bit of crunch and richness to the topping.

Balsamic glaze: Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the top before serving for a tangy, sweet contrast to the savory mushrooms.
