Ingredients
  

  • 24 cremini mushrooms (1" to 2" in diameter, about 12-14 ounces total)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ounces shredded whole milk mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan divided
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves plus more for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or Small Scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Gently clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems to create hollow spaces for the filling. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with mozzarella, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and thyme. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  5. Fill each mushroom cap with the cheesy mixture, packing it slightly.
  6. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, garnish with thyme, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Prepare mushrooms ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cheese.
  • Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.
