A delicious and easy-to-make appetizer featuring large fresh mushrooms stuffed with a savory clam and cheese filling, baked until tender and topped with melted mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Perfect for parties or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Mushrooms

  • 12 large fresh mushrooms

For the Filling

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can minced clams, drained (6 oz)
  • 1 finely chopped green onion
  • 1 large beaten egg
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

For Topping

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Environment: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the mushrooms with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms and clean each cap with a dry paper towel. Avoid using water to keep them from becoming soggy.
  3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, mozzarella cheese, minced clams, chopped green onion, beaten egg, minced garlic, bread crumbs, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly so all flavors are well incorporated.
  4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon 1-2 spoons of the filling into each mushroom cap. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms, filling side up, on the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake the Mushrooms: Drizzle 3 tablespoons of melted butter over the stuffed mushrooms. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender.
  6. Add Cheese and Final Bake: Remove the foil carefully. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over each mushroom. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and allow mushrooms to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your tasty stuffed mushrooms!

Notes

  • Use a dry paper towel to clean mushrooms to avoid sogginess.
  • Adjust the quantity of filling based on the size of mushrooms.
  • Covering with foil during baking keeps mushrooms moist.
  • Optional: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking.
