Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 12 large cremini or button mushrooms

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
Notes
Tip: For added richness, consider mixing in some cream cheese with the filling for a creamier texture.
For a twist, try adding crumbled bacon or chopped spinach to the filling for extra flavor. If you’re looking to make these gluten-free, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free options. To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheating in the oven helps retain their crispiness.
To ensure even cooking, try to select mushrooms that are similar in size. Serve them warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness!
