What You Need

1 box of fresh mushrooms
2 eggs
Leftover cooked meat (e.g., roasted chicken or ham slices) – Optional, as this recipe is also perfect vegetarian!
1/2 onion (or substitute with onion powder)
Fresh parsley (or substitute with dried parsley)
1/2 cup of cheese (your favorite variety)
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of salt

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 370°F.
Prepare the mushrooms: Gently separate the caps from the stalks. Peel the skin from the mushroom caps to open the cups a bit more, creating extra room for the stuffing.

Separate the mushroom caps from the stalk and peel the skin to open the cups for the stuffing.

Make the stuffing: Place the mushroom stalks into a food processor along with the onion, parsley, and leftover meat (if using). Pulse briefly—just enough to combine the ingredients while keeping the mixture chunky. Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Mix the stuffing ingredients gently and for a short time so they remain chunky, then combine with the remaining ingredients.

This is what your finished stuffing will look like.

Stuff the mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Fill each cap generously with the stuffing mixture and top each with a sprinkle of grated cheese.

Stuff your mushroom cups and add grated cheese on top.

Bake: Place the tray in the oven at 370°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully golden and bubbly.

Remove from the oven once the cheese is perfectly melted and golden.

Serve: Garnish with fresh vegetables and serve as a satisfying main course or a delightful side dish.

Decorate with fresh vegetables and enjoy!
