Ingredients
Instructions
- Clean mushrooms with damp paper towels.
- Remove mushroom stems and finely chop; set caps aside.
- Combine chopped stems, bread crumbs, melted butter or olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, grated onion, minced parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, and pepper; stir well.
- Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh herbs like thyme or basil instead of parsley. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano makes a great substitute. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs. Make sure not to overstuff the mushrooms to ensure even cooking and avoid sogginess.
Serving Suggestions
Stuffed mushrooms are a fantastic appetizer or side dish for gatherings. They pair wonderfully with a light salad or can be served alongside The Victorian Tea Room'S Squash Casserole for a hearty meal. For a fun twist, try serving them with a dipping sauce, like Very Delicious Dip!, to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain their texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the stuffed mushrooms ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the stuffed mushrooms a few hours in advance. Just assemble them, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. This makes them a convenient option for parties or gatherings.
What type of mushrooms work best for this recipe?
While large fresh mushrooms are ideal, you can also use cremini or portobello mushrooms for a larger bite. Just ensure they are firm and not overly soft to hold the stuffing well during baking.
Can I freeze the stuffed mushrooms?
You can freeze the stuffed mushrooms before baking. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
