Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (680g) large cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (30g) dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- Mushroom stems, finely chopped (from above)
- 1/2 cup (50g) panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/4 cup (15g) finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions:
- Clean mushrooms and remove stems. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
- Sauté shallot and garlic in olive oil until softened.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add vegetable broth and simmer until slightly reduced.
- Place mushroom caps in the skillet, cavity-side up. Simmer until slightly softened. Remove mushroom caps from the skillet, set aside, and reserve the sauce.
- Sauté chopped mushroom stems in olive oil until softened.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and beaten egg. Mix well.
- Generously stuff each mushroom cap with the filling.
- Arrange stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (optional). Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Bake until golden brown and heated through.
- Drizzle a small amount of the reserved sauce over the mushrooms before serving.
