Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 20 button mushrooms, stems chopped, caps reserved
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 (5.2-oz.) block Boursin cheese
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Finishing Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare Mushroom Filling: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped mushroom stems, finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Mix Cheese Filling: Transfer the cooked mushroom stem mixture to a medium bowl. Add the block of Boursin cheese, plain breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a creamy filling.
- Stuff Mushroom Caps: Take the reserved mushroom caps and fill each one evenly with the Boursin cheese mixture. Sprinkle additional breadcrumbs on top of each stuffed mushroom for a crunchy topping. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil lightly over the stuffed mushrooms and garnish with extra fresh parsley.
- Bake the Mushrooms: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm button mushrooms for best results; avoid mushrooms with blemishes.
- To make the dish ahead, prepare the filling and stuff the mushrooms in advance, then refrigerate until ready to bake.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- This appetizer pairs wonderfully with crisp white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
- Ensure mushrooms are dry before stuffing to prevent sogginess.
