About This Recipe

All the deliciousness of stuffed mushrooms without all the work! An easy side dish you can serve any night of the week!

Ingredients

• 1 pound white button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Italian parsley (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• black pepper (to taste)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. Slice off the bottom of the stems; then, use a moist paper towel to gently remove any dirt from mushrooms.
3. Quarter or halve the mushrooms, depending on the size.
4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water in the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish then place mushrooms in a single layer on top of the water.
5. In a small bowl combine next six ingredients: breadcrumbs through salt/pepper. Spray the tops of the mushrooms with oil then sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the mushrooms.
6. Drizzle evenly with olive oil then spray the top with a little more olive oil spray so it's evenly coated. Bake uncovered until the mushrooms are golden, about 20 minutes. Optional, broil 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Serve hot or warm.
