Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 large button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. Clean your mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems.
  3. In a small frying pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced shallot, and chopped mushroom stems. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Transfer the sautéed mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, fresh sage, Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs. Stir well to combine.
  5. Pour the melted butter into the stuffing mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until everything is evenly coated and sticking together slightly.
  6. Using a teaspoon, scoop the stuffing mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing gently to pack it in.
  7. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil for extra crispiness.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown on top.
  9. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh sage or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

If the stuffing seems dry, add a splash of vegetable broth to bring it together. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
