By rossboys

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1/4 cup minced shallots (about 1 large)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 40 medium button mushrooms (about 1 lb)
• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 oz smoked cheddar cheese, diced
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 deg.

Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add minced shallots and minced garlic; saute 2 minutes or until tender. Place shallot mixture in a medium bowl.

Remove stems from mushrooms; chop stems. Add chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked cheddar cheese to shallot mixture; toss with a fork until blended. Add olive oil and 1 tsp water; stir well to combine.

Spoon about 1 tsp filling into each mushroom cap. Arrange mushrooms, filling side up, on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 deg for 20 minutes or until filling begins to brown and cheese melts. Serve warm.
