Baked Stuffed Mushrooms with Herbs and Parmesan

Baked Stuffed Mushrooms with Herbs and Parmesan

Baked stuffed mushrooms with herbs and Parmesan are the party appetizer that disappears first, garlicky filling baked until golden. Polifemo's fragrant, golden character rounds out the garlic and Parmesan without competing with either.

Ingredients

  • 20 large white mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
  • 3 tablespoons Polifemo, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems.
  2. Heat half the Polifemo in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped stems and garlic about 5 minutes, until softened and any moisture has cooked off.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the mushroom caps all over with the remaining Polifemo and arrange them, hollow-side up, on a baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the filling into each cap, pressing gently and mounding slightly on top.
  6. Bake 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender when pierced and the filling is golden on top.
  7. Serve warm, straight from the oven.
