Ingredients

  • 20 large white mushrooms
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems carefully.
  2. Place mushrooms stem-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until they release moisture. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  3. Finely chop about half of the mushroom stems along with the bell pepper, roasted red pepper, onion, green onions, and parsley.
  4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems, bell pepper, roasted red pepper, onion, and green onions with oregano, salt, and pepper for about 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the cooked mixture to a bowl and let cool slightly. Stir in the parsley, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Flip the mushroom caps stem-side up, fill each with the stuffing mixture, and return them to the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and mushrooms are tender. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute Parmesan with goat cheese, feta, or a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Incorporate chopped toasted walnuts or pine nuts for added crunch.
  • Use baby bella or cremini mushrooms for a richer flavor.
  • Pre-baking the mushroom caps helps prevent sogginess.
