Ingredients

Scale

Mushroom Stuffing

  • 12 large mushrooms
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For Baking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the mushrooms.
  2. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms thoroughly using a damp cloth or paper towel. Carefully remove and discard the stems to create space for the stuffing.
  3. Make the ricotta filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  4. Stuff the mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the ricotta mixture, pressing slightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
  5. Arrange and drizzle: Place the filled mushroom caps on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the mushrooms to help them brown and stay moist.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops of the filling turn a beautiful golden color.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve the stuffed mushrooms warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • These mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; bake them just before serving.
  • Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure all cheeses are gluten-free certified.
