Funghi Ripieni (Stuffed Mushrooms)

These stuffed mushrooms come together quickly and can be made early in the day and refrigerated until it’s time to pop them in the oven.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 16 large mushrooms 2” to 3” caps
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter plus more for buttering the dish and dotting the tops
  • 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground to taste
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated (or to taste)
  • broth or water as needed

Method
 

  1. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth.
  2. Remove the stems.
  3. Finely grind the stems in a food processor.
  4. Sauté the ground stems in the butter with a pinch of salt until the liquid is drawn out and then completely evaporated.
  5. Mix the cooked stems with the breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cool slightly and add 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
  7. Butter a baking dish large enough to hold the mushroom caps in a single layer, snugly.
  8. Fill each mushroom cap with some of the stuffing mixture.
  9. Arrange the stuffed mushroom caps in the buttered dish.
  10. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, dot with butter and add a small amount of broth or water to the bottom of the dish to keep the mushrooms from sticking.
  11. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  12. Baste occasionally with the liquid in the pan during baking.
