Ingredients

Scale
  • 16–20 large button or cremini mushrooms (about 1 lb/450g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Optional: lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Gently wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean. Remove stems and place caps cavity side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle or brush mushroom caps with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss lightly to coat.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Use a spoon or small scoop to fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture, pressing gently if needed.
  5. Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed mushrooms. For extra flavor, mix panko with a bit of melted butter before topping.
  6. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and tops are golden. Mushrooms should be tender but not collapsing.
  7. Let mushrooms cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley or a pinch of sea salt if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free panko or omit breadcrumbs. For vegan, substitute plant-based butter and cheese. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy mushrooms. Taste the filling before stuffing to adjust seasoning. For crispier tops, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Mushrooms can be stuffed ahead and baked just before serving.
