LJ 100 Things - 4 - Stuffed Mushrooms
Recipe 5: Stuffed Mushrooms
I can’t remember when exactly I got this recipe, but it must have been late high school because my father was still living in the apartment we shared (he moved out when he married his second wife) and I got it from the friend who eventually became Bill-Paying Roommate. (Bill Paying and Deadbeat were my roommates for about four years between my father marrying again and me moving in with Steve.) Future Bill-Payer was over one day, I mentioned having mushrooms and she mentioned knowing a recipe for stuffed mushrooms. Anything involving mushrooms and cheese is good by me, so I agreed and shortly mushroom-y deliciousness was had by all.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients:
12 mushrooms, either stuffing or large regular white
1 large clove garlic
1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Parmesan
1/2 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
Equipment:
Food processor
Teaspoon (the kind designed for the table, not the measuring kind)
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper or silicone baking sheet (These? Are awesome. And reusable, so you’re throwing away less and only have to pay for them once.)
Instructions:
Set the oven to broil and put a rack in the top slot in the oven. Wash the mushrooms and pat dry. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and toss them into the food processor with the other ingredients. Pulse everything except the mushroom caps in the food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Line the cookie sheet with the parchment paper or silicone sheet.
Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps, rounding the top. Arrange the filled mushroom caps on the cookie sheet, and place under the broiler for ten minutes.
Eat them, and wish you had more. (Well. Unless you’re Dreamcherry or Steve or some other non-mushroom-eating person. In which case, more mushrooms for me.)
