Stuffed Mushrooms
Makes 16 servings
14 ounces stuffing mushrooms
½ cup panko (bread crumbs)
¼ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Scrub the mushrooms and remove and reserve the stems.
In the bowl of a Cuisinart
®
mini chopper or food processor, add the panko,
basil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Process until finely ground. Add
the mushroom stems and pulse to chop. Reserve.
Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a medium skillet and heat over medium-low
heat. Add the garlic and sauté until softened and golden. Add the panko
mixture and sauté until mixture is very soft and toasted, adding an addi-
tional tablespoon of oil halfway through cooking – this should take about 5
minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and combine.
Preheat the Cuisinart
®
Convection Toaster Oven Broiler to 425°F on the
bake setting with the rack in position B.
Line the baking tray with aluminum foil. Place the mushroom caps on the
prepared tray and evenly divide the bread crumb mixture among the mush-
rooms, mounding the mixture in each mushroom. Drizzle the remaining
olive oil over the prepared mushrooms and bake in preheated oven for
about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are browned.
Remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.
