Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the mushrooms

Gently wipe the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth to clean. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills with a spoon.

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

Pre-bake the mushrooms

Place the mushrooms cap-side down on a baking sheet. Brush with a little olive oil and bake for 10 minutes to release moisture.

Prepare the stuffing

In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Try adding some chopped nuts or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavour.

Stuff the mushrooms

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and divide the stuffing mixture evenly among the caps.

Bake until golden

Return the stuffed mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.

Pro tip: For a crispier top, place under the broiler for the last 2 minutes.
