INGREDIENTS

• 18 whole mushrooms
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup finely minced fresh herbs (I used 1/4 cup parsley, 1/8 cup thyme, 1/8 cup oregano, and 2 sage leaves)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Grease the baking pan.
2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Save stems.
3. Finely mince about half the mushroom stems, which will go into the stuffing.
4. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, minced herbs, minced garlic cloves, and olive oil. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stuff each mushroom cap with 1-2 tablespoons of stuffing.
6. Arrange the mushrooms on the baking pan, and bake at 400F for 17-19 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden and the stuffing is melted.
