Stuffed mushrooms with two cheeses are a classic appetizer that brings a touch of elegance to any gathering. Combining creamy ricotta and sharp parmesan, these morsels are packed with flavour and are sure to impress your guests. Mushrooms have the perfect texture to hold a rich filling, and when baked, they develop a delightful, slightly crispy top while remaining juicy inside.

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pro tip: Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.

Prepare the mushrooms

Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth, remove the stems, and set them aside. Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet.

Pro tip: Avoid soaking the mushrooms in water to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Make the filling

Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems. In a bowl, combine the chopped stems, ricotta, parmesan, garlic, olive oil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Mix until well combined for an even distribution of flavours.

Stuff the mushrooms

Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling.

Pro tip: Do not overfill to avoid spillage during baking.

Add topping

Mix breadcrumbs with extra parmesan and sprinkle over the stuffed mushrooms.

Pro tip: This will add a nice crunchy texture to the finished dish.

Bake the mushrooms

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.

Pro tip: Check for doneness by gently pressing the mushrooms; they should feel soft.
