Stuffed Mushrooms

Mushrooms are fungi. And I love eating them.
But how much tastier are they topped with breadcrumbs and cheese? This very simple recipe { via Giada } will have you reaching for these delicious poppers in less than 20 min.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp. fresh chopped mint leaves
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 28 large white mushrooms (2 1/2" in diameter)

Instructions:

1. Wash and de-stem the 'shrooms.


2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Stir bread crumbs, Romano cheese, garlic, parsley salt & pepper, and 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a medium bowl.


4. Spoon filling into mushroom cavities. I firmly pressed the first spoonful and let the rest just sit atop the mushroom. Then arrange them on a foiled and greased baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil filling on each mushroom (or if you're feeling efficient, spray some PAM).

Before
