Crunchy Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms Recipes

STUFFED CREMINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper - set aside.
• Wash and thoroughly dry your cremini mushrooms, then spread out on the parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
• Combine the jalapeno, onion, garlic, 1/4 C. cornmeal, 1/4 C. butter, and optional kielbasa in your food processor, along with 1/2 of the cremini stems.
• Pulse a few times, until the ingredients are combined - not too much so that they puree. Two or three pulses should be sufficient.
• Stuff the cremini caps with your butter mixture. Sprinkle 1/4 C. parmesan cheese over the stuffed mushroom caps, then sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp cornmeal.
• Bake at 400 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, or until mushrooms have given up their juices.
• If needed, broil for a minute or two to crisp up - as needed.

• Combine the bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a bowl.
• Using a teaspoon measure, stuff each mushroom cap with a heaping mound of the bread crumb filling. Lightly drizzle the mushrooms with the remaining oil. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

STUFFED CRIMINI MUSHROOMS WITH GRUYERE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add mushrooms, and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, shallot, garlic, parsley, and chives. Cover, and let the vegetables sweat for a few minutes to release the aromas. Remove from heat, and stir in the breadcrumbs and lemon juice.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Scoop out the mushroom caps, and fill with the bread crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Top with shredded cheese.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve hot.

CRISPY STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH HARISSA AND APRICOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the mushroom stems from the caps and chop the stems.
• Place a medium skillet over medium heat, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and let it warm up until it thins out, about 20 seconds. Add mushroom stems, onion and chile and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, harissa, tomato paste, salt and cumin seeds and cook until the tomato paste darkens and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Stirring constantly, cook bread crumbs until lightly toasted, about 4 to 6 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan as the bread crumbs can burn quickly. Remove from heat and immediately scrape bread-crumb mixture into medium mixing bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan, cilantro, dried apricots and lemon zest, tossing well. Taste and season with black pepper and more salt if needed.
• Place mushroom caps on a rimmed sheet pan, cavities facing up. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, stuff the oiled mushroom caps with the seasoned bread-crumb mixture.
• Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan on mushrooms. Bake until the tops are crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges for squeezing.

STUFFED CREMINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Trim the ends of the mushroom stems and discard. Then gently remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
• Warm the olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the garlic, and when fragrant, add the chopped mushroom stems. Sauté for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
• Add the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, and salt and pepper to the pan. Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients together, adding olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture can easily form a patty.
• Overstuff each mushroom and place in a large oven safe casserole dish. The mushrooms should be touching each other. Before baking, add about 1/3 cup of water to the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Bake the mushrooms, uncovered, at 325 for about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
• Tip: Cremini mushrooms are used in place of the traditional white button mushrooms in this recipe for two reasons-flavor and amount of shrinkage. You can substitute white button mushrooms, but be sure the raw mushrooms are substantially larger than the mushrooms you plan on serving, as they will shrink quite a bit in the oven.
• Tip: Stuffed mushrooms can be made 2-3 days in advance. Prior to baking, cover the pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate. When ready to serve, uncover, add water, and bake.
