Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup goat cheese, cream cheese, or cottage cheese
- 3 medium garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/3 cup dried bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese
- Scant 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 16 medium brown mushrooms, stemmed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in the top and bottom third.
In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, garlic, bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, shallot, and half the chives. Mix together well until the cheese is worked into the other ingredients uniformly.
Drizzle a baking sheet with half of the olive oil.
Fill each mushroom with a couple teaspoons of filling, gently pressing the filling into each cap. Arrange the mushrooms on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the top of each mushroom with a bit more olive oil and bake until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb mixture is golden, about 20 minutes. Bake for less time if your mushrooms are on the small side.
Serve hot, topped with the remaining chives sprinkled on top.
Notes
Makes 16 stuffed mushrooms.
