This stuffed mushrooms recipe is an irresistible (and easy!) appetizer. The filling is a crispy, savory combo of bread crumbs, garlic, herbs, and cheese.
Ingredient
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup grated pecorino cheese
½ cup finely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
¼ cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, about 4
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
Freshly ground black pepper
20 to 24 large cremini mushrooms, stemmed
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Pinches of red pepper flakes, optional
Direction
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko, pecorino cheese, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, garlic, salt and several grinds of pepper.
Place the mushrooms, cavity side up, onto the baking sheet. Drizzle the mushrooms with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spoon the filling into the mushrooms, drizzle with more olive oil and bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired. Season to taste and serve.
