Ingredients
Stuffed Mushrooms
- 1 pound large mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
These ingredients will create a delicious filling for the mushrooms.
Instructions
Prepare the Mushrooms
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside.
Make the Filling
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Stuff the Mushrooms
Fill each mushroom cap with the breadcrumb mixture, packing it in lightly.
Bake
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the stuffed mushrooms to cool slightly before serving.
Storage Tips
Leftover stuffed mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispy texture. Microwaving is an option but may result in a softer topping.
If you're preparing in advance, consider making the filling and stuffing the mushrooms a day ahead. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to bake. This will save you time and allow flavors to meld, enhancing the overall taste of your dish.
Nutritional Information
Stuffed mushrooms are not only delicious but can also be a healthy option when prepared thoughtfully. Mushrooms are low in calories, high in fiber, and provide essential nutrients such as B vitamins, selenium, and antioxidants. The addition of fresh herbs and garlic boosts their health benefits, making them a guilt-free treat.
When customizing your filling, consider incorporating vegetables or lean proteins to further enhance the nutritional profile. For a lighter version, you can substitute the panko breadcrumbs with whole-grain options or even crushed nuts for added health benefits without sacrificing flavor.
