Description

Why go through all of the work of stuffing mushrooms when you can get the same result by not stuffing them? These will probably be the best mushrooms that you have ever had and make a great side dish. Perhaps they can be served as an appetizer as well.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. white button mushrooms
• 2 T. water
• 1⁄4 c. dried Italian style breadcrumbs
• 2 T. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
• 2 T. Italian parsley, minced
• 1⁄4 t. fresh or dried thyme
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 t. kosher salt
• black pepper, to taste
• 2 T. olive oil, to drizzle
• olive oil spray

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Slice off just the tip of the bottom of the stems; use a moist paper towel to gently remove any dirt from mushrooms. Quarter or halve the mushrooms, depending on the size.
3. Sprinkle water in the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish; place mushrooms in a single layer on top of the water.
