Baked cremini mushroom caps filled with sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, and parsley.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2
Remove the mushroom stems without breaking the caps, then finely chop the stems.
-
Step 3
Brush the mushroom caps with part of the olive oil and arrange them cavity-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Step 4
Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 5
Add the chopped mushroom stems, bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and excess moisture has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Step 6
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a mixing bowl and cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
-
Step 7
Divide the filling among the mushroom caps, pressing it in gently and mounding it above the cavities.
-
Step 8
Bake at 200°C until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Let them stand for 5 minutes before serving.
