Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

It’s easy to make as an appetizer for a party.  Instead of the larger stuffing mushrooms, purchase the smaller, more “button” mushrooms.  They will take less stuffing per mushroom, and you can make a whole tray full in minutes.  People will love the flavor and surely ask for the recipe.

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place mushrooms in a shallow, oven proof dish, stem opening up.

In a bowl, mix the clams, ¼ C reserved clam juice, egg, garlic and garlic salt, oregano, 1 T butter, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 2 T mozzarella cheese.  Mix well.

Fill each of the mushroom caps equally.

Pour the ¼ C butter over the mushrooms evenly.

Bake 20-25 minutes, until filling is golden brown.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.

Serve hot.
