Stuffed Mushrooms With Panko and Pecorino image

These flavorful stuffed mushrooms come together quickly, which makes them great for entertaining. Crunchy panko bread crumbs, instead of the traditional sort, are combined with salty cheese, parsley and garlic, then spooned into mushroom caps and baked until crisp and golden. You can assemble them through Step 2 a few days in advance and pop them into the oven minutes before guests arrive. Pro tip: Don't throw away the mushroom stems. Freeze them to add to your next pot of stock for unbeatable richness.

Categories     Appetizers

Yield Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Portobello mushrooms or portobellini (i.e. small portobello) or white mushrooms for stuffing
~1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (the more you put, the crispier they'll be)
Olive oil to drizzle on
Salt and Pepper
2 cups basil
2-3 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp pine nuts or hazelnuts
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • 1) Prepare the pesto sauce by mincing all ingredients in a food processor 2) Remove the gills (i.e. black insides) from mushrooms. This step is very important, as it keeps the mushrooms from getting soggy 3) Mix breadcrumbs and pesto sauce 4) Spoon pesto mixture into each mushroom cap 5) Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper 6) Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400F FYI: - Steps 1-2 can be done in advance - These reheat very well - I will sometimes bake with campari tomatoes (on the vine) to add colour - I initially only made these with portobellos, but I find that the white mushrooms for stuffing are just as good and they are smaller and less expensive - These can be made dairy with parmesan

Categories     Stuffed Mushrooms

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large portobello mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
¼ cup pesto
4 large eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 teaspoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Use a damp cloth to remove any dirt from mushrooms. Cut stems off and use a spoon to remove gills, being careful not to break sides of the mushrooms. If there is not enough room for an egg, scrape out a bit of the mushroom flesh. Brush mushroom tops with olive oil and place, top-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until whites are set and egg yolks are done to your liking, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
