Calories: 164kcal
- 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
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.
