Ingredients

  • 2 cups soft breadcrumbs about 4 slices white bread
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • 1 tsp minced fresh thyme -OR- 1/4 tsp dehydrated
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 10 large-sized mushrooms about 2-inches diameter
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbs olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle the olive oil in a shallow baking pan--I used a 1.5 qt baking dish for this amount of mushrooms.
  • Remove any dirt from the mushrooms. Carefully remove the stems and mince them finely.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and minced mushroom stems. Saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Place breadcrumbs in a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper, parsley and thyme; toss. Add the entire contents of the skillet, mushrooms, onions and the melted butter to the breadcrumb mixture. Toss well, making sure the breadcrumbs are well coated with the butter.
  • Place approximately 2 tbs of breadcrumb mixture in each mushroom cap. Mold stuffing into a mound with palm of hand, slightly compacting the stuffing. I used a drop cookie utensil. It looks like a small ice cream scoop.
  • Place mushrooms in prepared baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • May be used as a side dish or a hot appetizer. Serve immediately.
